Something like this ought to work:

ON mouseUp
    REPEAT WITH x = 1 to the number of words in field 1
        IF word x of field 1 is theFoundWord THEN
            set the backgroundcolor of  word x of field 1 to yellow
        END IF
    END repeat
END mouseUp

hth,
Mark

Does anyone have a function that will highlight/colorize instances of found text in a field?

e.g. say we have a search function, user types "chapati"

In the particular ebook I have, all instances (lines or paragraphs containing) of "chapati" are "gathered" and then posted to a field for review... I would like to have all instance of "chapati" in that field be highlighted or colorized.

I'm sure I can figure it out but someone I'm sure has already cooked this dosai before and I'm a fan of using recipes.

Thanks
