Hi!
Unfortunately, we don't learn for what kind of environment you want it
*highlighted*. Is it a CGI/web site thing using <b> or <i> tags, or just a
plain text environment where you could "highlight" by putting _underscores_
or *asterisks* around the text or using CAPITALS.
The following subroutine, e.g., will highlight any occurance of the second
argument within the first argument by putting HTML <b>...</b> tags around
and then return the former with the highlights:
sub highlight
{
my $msg = shift;
my $tohilite = shift;
$msg =~ s|($tohilite)|<b>$1</b>|g;
return $msg;
}
- just change the '<b>$1</b>' to whatever kind of highlighting you prefer,
while $1 represents the part of the expression that is to be highlighted.
Regards
Sascha
