Alright, figure out the index of the search string
in your larger string.
Then.. Figure out the length of the search string.
Now try something like this.
<CFSET BigStr = "Some big ole string">
<CFSET Pos = FindNocase("ole", BigStr)>
<CFSET searchStrLen = Len("ole")>
<CFSET BigStr = Insert("<FONT COLOR=""FF0000""><B>",
Insert("</B></FONT>", BigStr, Pos+(searchStrLen-1)),
(Pos-1))>
<CFOUTPUT>#BigStr#</CFOUTPUT>
The complicated part is the insert.
It basically says Insert a begin font tag into the follow string
(which just happens to be another insert. the innser insert
inserts a string which is a close BOLD and FONT tag at the END
of your search word (given that you know the length and its
beginning position).

Subject: replace function
Hi
i am using the replace function with a search interface,
that when the results come out, if the search word is within the results, to
turn that word "red"
However,
it replaces the word with a Red version of the search_word
#ReplaceNoCase(Description, Search_Word, theReplacedWord , 'ALL')#
the problem with this is that it replaces the Case of the word with the case
of the Search_word, Meaning if i search "pens" it will replace a instance of
the word "Pens" (uppercase) with the search_word version.
is there a way to search for the word and just replace the color without
replacing the word??
Thanx
-Eli-
