如何在Codemirror中基于子字符串获取行号？

Question

I need to get the line number of specific string in the textarea which has codemirror plugin.

var editor= CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("refstyle");  

var doc = editor.getDoc();
var cursor = doc.getCursor(); // gets the line number in the cursor position
var line = doc.getLine(cursor.line); // get the line contents 
editor.getSelection(line number)   //it will select the text based on line number

So, How can I get the line number based on string (I expect something like doc.getLine(string) or doc.getSelection(String))

Is there any function to get the line number based on the string or to get searched string selected based on line number in the textarea? Pls help!

To search inside a CodeMirror instance, use the searchcursor addon. It'll give you the line/char position of matches.
