Hi Monks,
I have problem with Findnext, and also with Find function from Text widget.
These functions works well if I use them from the right-click menu, but I can't use them with my function. It found only the first hit.
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $filename;

# Create necessary widgets
my $f = $mw->Frame->pack( -side => 'top', -fill => 'x' );
$f->Entry( -textvariable => \$filename )->pack(
  -side   => 'left',
  -anchor => 'w',
  -fill   => 'x',
  -expand => 1
);
$f->Button( -text => "Exit", -command => sub { exit; } )
  ->pack( -side => 'right' );
$f->Button(-text => "Find", -command => \&find)
  -> pack(-side => 'right');

my $t = $mw->Scrolled("Text")->pack(
  -side   => 'bottom',
  -fill   => 'both',
  -expand => 1,
);
$t->insert( end => join "\n", 1 .. 10 );
$t->insert( 'end', "\nthe_the_the the\n");
$t->insert( 'end', "\nthe_the_the the\n");

MainLoop;

sub find(){
    #$t->FindNext(-forward, -exact,-nocase);
    
    my $result = $t->FindNext(-forwards, -exact, -nocase, "the");
    print $result;
}
