Sorting lines on colour (color for some)

[dunbarx at aol.com]

I made this more robust, though no more effective:



on mouseUp
      sort lines of fld 1 numeric by item 1 of the effective foregroundColor of each & item 2 of the effective foregroundColor of each & item 3 of the effective foregroundColor of each
end mouseUp


This so "0,255,255" does not sort the same as "255,0,255". And I tried using "effective", as per Phil and as shown, but still no.


Peter, you need foreground color, not backgroundColor.


So again, before I call Jacque, why does this not work? Maybe calling the sortKey as a function? That should not fix it, though it would look prettier.

Thanks Peter,

and for those having real headacke with regex, you can write
the function this way:

function getHtmlColors L
   if offset( "<p bgcolor=", L) < 1 then return "z"
   return char 12 to 18 of L -- the 6 hexa chars
end getHtmlColors


But I personaly find it extremely ugly :)

Regards,

Thierry
