Hi list,
I have a slight problem when it comes to highlighting multiple words.
The words needed to be highlightd are retrieved from a database
and comes in one string ie. ' put,the words,here'. I then set this as
a global, then to be extected into seperate items to be highlighted.
It seems a long way round the problem but works for single words!
gSearchWord = string('put,the words,here)comes in from v12)
itemCounter = gSearchWord.item.count
repeat with x = 1 to itemCounter
set the text of field "SearchWord" & x = gSearchWord.item[x]
TheText = member("Info").text
--put each item into seperate fields
repeat with i = 1 to the number of words in TheText
if word i of member("Info").text contains string(the text of
field("SearchWord" & x)) then
member("Info").word[i].foreColor = 14
member("Info").word[i].fontstyle = [#BOLD
end if
end repeat
end repeat
When the words are highlighted the user can click them and launch a
glossary MIAW giving more detail of what it means - thats it!
Even though Director sees 'the words' it won't recognise this in the
final text member to be highlighted. Is this something to do with the
space between words?
I will be grateful if anyone could shine any light on this or
re-direct me if there is a simple way to achieve what i want.
Thanks in advance
