So we have here two methods: The htmlText-method and the styledText-method. There is an interesting result in the speed comparison of the two methods. Here the htmlText-method is significantly faster with less than at about 1500 short lines, between 1500 and 2500 short lines speed is at about the same, for more than at about 2500 short lines the styledText-method becomes significantly faster. As LC flattens any nested arrays the styledText-method is probably adjustable and worth the loop through the runs: styledText experts please come in. ## HtmlText-method for any colored text chunk in the line. on mouseUp put the millisecs into m1 lock screen; lock messages set linedelimiter to "<p" put the htmltext of fld 1 into ht replace " hidden" with empty in ht repeat for each line L in ht if offset("color=",L)>0 then put "<p" & L after s else put "<p hidden" & L after s end repeat set htmltext of fld 1 to s put the millisecs-m1 into fld "timing" end mouseUp ## StyledText-method for a whole colorized line. put the styledText of field "text" into tTextA # loop through paragraphs repeat with i = 1 to the number of elements of tTextA # Check if first run has textcolor set put (tTextA[i]["runs"][1]["style"]["textcolor"] is empty) \ into tTextA[i]["style"]["hidden"] end if end repeat set the styledText of fld "text" to tTextA``` _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
