Here's a quick and dirty command that does what you want. Requires the utility
function wordoffsets(), which I posted a few days ago on another thread, also
available in the Master Library. Call it by specifying the word, the color, and
the field ref:
colorizeWord "was", "red", the long id of fld "text"
on colorizeWord pWord, pColor, fLongID
put the text of fLongID into fText
put wordoffsets(pWord,fText,true) into offList
lock screen
-- speeds up the routine considerably, as the screen refresh
-- only is done once
repeat for each item i in offList
set the textColor of word i of fLongID to pColor
end repeat
end colorizeWord
You could modify this for LC 7+ to use trueword -- expand wordoffsets() to
create a new function truewordoffsets(). Yet another example of how the
offsets()/wordoffsets()/lineoffsets() functions make life so much easier…. (All
these are in the Master Library.)
Richmond: you may want to rename the function to "colourizewords". :-)
