Hello,
I have a multiline text that collects logs and other interesting tags for
debugging purposes. Stats help me identify the most interesting tags, and I
want to find them in the detailed logs.
To find a string in the control, I must get its VALUE attribute (which
interns its contents as a big Lua string). Then I can search whatever I
want in that string.
Is there a better way to avoid interning such a big string?
Then, I want to highlight the lines where I found what I searched for.
I am trying the following:
local what, where = inText.value, resultText.value
local lineIdx = 1
for line, sep in string.split( where, "\n") do
if string.find( line, what, 1, true) then
resultText.addformattag = iup.user{ bgcolor = "255
0 0", selection = lineIdx .. ",1:" .. lineIdx .. ":999"}
break
end
lineIdx = lineIdx + 1
end
However, this doesn't change the formatting of the line I found. I have
already successfully applied formatting to multiline text, but I did this
by setting the formatting tag, then appending some text that would get
formatted, as follows:
resultText.addformattag = iup.user{ bgcolor ="255 255 128"}
resultText.append = "========================= " .. os.date(
"%d/%m/%Y %X") .. " ========================="
Is it possible to format parts of the text already present in the control?
Regards,

Benoit.
