This is a case for Regular Expressions (RegEx): REReplaceNoCase(answer, '(#search_string#)', '<span class="keyword">\1</span>', 'all')#
1. Search the content of the variable answer 2. Look for the content of the variable search_string 2a. Because parenthesis are being used and we're doing RegEx, the matched text will be 'captured' for later use. The parenthesis are special characters, not part of what is being matched. 3. Replace the matched content with: <span class="keyword">\1</span> 3a. take the captured text from the match and place it within the span block in place of the \1 \1 will contain the exact text matched with whatever case it had rather than the case of the search_string On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Robert Harrison <rob...@austin-williams.com > wrote: > > I have a search results pages and I'd like to highlight the search term to > show the matches.
