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
Thanks Mark... this almost works
1) only works for single words
2) and one must use "contains" if you want to pick up everything bounded
by punctuation
and part of hyphenated words.
ON mouseUp
REPEAT WITH x = 1 to the number of words in field 1
IF word x of field 1 contains theFoundWord THEN
set the backgroundcolor of word x of field 1 to yellow
END IF
END repeat
END mouseUp
3) But fails for any strings with spaces in it. I'm cogitating how to
do just as efficient a loop to target matching string chunks, but will
probably need to sleep on it first (smile)... I think I have an looping
off set function somewhere that should work...
I need to get more organized with my library of already build tools!

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
