Mike,
Thanks! You got me started with your first reply. I saw that it was grabbing
the first characters of the word, even if not what you wanted. For example, if
word was timebandit, but you wanted bandit, it selected "timeba". Also, I
messed up incrementing my offset, so it only got the first match correctly.
Here is my working code for setting the color for any specified search text in
a field.
Again, a HUGE thanks for your efforts! Really appreciate it! I'm sooo happy
this finally works!
on mouseUp
set the traversalOn of field "Results" to true
put the text of field Results into tResults
put the text of field "SearchField" into strSearch
put the length of strSearch into tLength
put 1 into tFramePos
put 0 into tPreviousOffset
repeat while tFramePos <> 0
put wordOffset(strSearch,tResults,tPreviousOffset) into tFramePos
put word(tFramePos+tPreviousOffset) of tResults into tFullWord
put offSet(strSearch,tFullWord) into tCharOffset
if tCharOffset >= 0 then
select char (tCharOffset) to (tCharoffset+tLength-1) of word
(tFramePos+tPreviousOffset) of field "Results"
set the textColor of the selection to red
end if
put tFramePos + tPreviousOffset into tPreviousOffset
-- put tFramePos + tPreviousOffset into tPreviousOffset
end repeat
select empty
end mouseUp
