text color

[Mike Bonner]

Oh, my last response was in your second set of code that you was causing a
syntax error. The complete code is as follows.

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 -- yep, like this.
   put 1 into tFramePos
   put 0 into tPreviousOffset
   repeat while tFramePos <> 0

-- noticed in your posted code that you used itemoffset instead of
wordoffset. I assume this was a typo.
      put wordOffset(strSearch,tResults,tPreviousOffset) into tFramePos --
locat the beginning of the word

-- since its word offset rather than straight offset, define the chunk
explicitly.
-- char 1 to the length of the string, of the word that was found, of the
field it was found in.
      select char 1 to tLength of word (tFramePos+tPreviousOffset) of field
"Results"
      set the textColor of the selection to red
      put tFramePos + tPreviousOffset into tPreviousOffset
   end repeat
   select empty
end mouseUp


You could just use offset rather than wordoffset since you aren't looking
for whole word matches. Wouldn't be too difficult to rewrite it that way.
Either will work dandy.
