A simple way to do this would be to split the chunk of text on a space, into an array or list. Then loop over that list and compare bit of the string individually. At that point you'd be able to tell where the changes are, if there are any.

I was hoping that there is a function or a UDF out there that will compare two different strings and highlights the different words or character in the second string... hope it makes sense... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306143 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
