Sorting lines on colour (color for some)

[Thierry Douez]

Another one with some regex flavor


on mouseUp
   local t
   put the htmltext of fld 1 into t
   sort lines of t  by getHtmlColors( each)
   set  the htmltext of fld 1 to t
end mouseUp

function getHtmlColors L
   if matchText( L, "<p bgcolor=.#([0-9A-F]{6}).>", v) then  return v
   return "z"
end getHtmlColors
