Remarks

The FindNonEditPositionInRange method is used to search for the first literal character between two specified positions, inclusive, using the specified search direction. The result can subsequently be passed as a parameter to the Item[] indexer to obtain the literal value at this position.

The FindEditPositionInRange method is the complement of this method.
