If you're trying to highlight the word architect, using rob's regex, you would do something like this:
reReplaceNoCase(stringVar, "\barchitect\b", "<html to highlight>\1</html to highlight", "ALL") Wrap it in #'s or set it to a variable. the \1 is a back reference to your regex search, so in this case you could hard-code it to the word architect. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ ps, firefox 2.0 spell checker is rad.
