Colouring words

[Michael Doub]

Yet another approach:

    put "this is the only  one" into fld 1

    put empty into s1
    put empty into e1
    get MatchChunk (line 1of  fld 1,"(?i).+(only).+",s1,e1)
-- the regexp capture returns the start and end characters the match

    set the textcolor of char s1 to e1 of line 1 of fld 1 to red
