Rev 2.6.1

Greetings,

I made a routine for checking a FIELD from start to end for html tags, then to change their color. Worked great! That is with a small html file of maybe 4000 characters. But then I ran a html file that was about 28000 characters, and found my routine was not so good after all.

the FIELD handlers;

on rawKeyUp
  SubHighlight
end rawKeyUp

on backspaceKey
  SubHighlight
end backspaceKey

might not be best, but I don't know if there's any other way to keep track of the contents of the FIELD, except to check on keyup events.

Here's the sub;

on SubHighlight
  lock screen
  put number of characters of field "fHtmlEditor" into varTotal
  set the textstyle of char 1 to varTotal of field 1 to plain
  put 1 into varCounter
  put 1 into varStartChunk
  put 1 into varEndChunk
  repeat until varStartChunk >= varTotal or varGetOut is 1
    put varCounter into field "fStatusBar"
    put char varEndChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 into varTemp
    put empty into varTagType
    if varTemp is "<" then
      put varEndChunk + 3 into varTemp
      put char varEndChunk to varTemp of field 1 into varTemp
      if varTemp is "<!--" then
        put "comment" into varTagType
      end if
      put varEndChunk + 6 into varTemp
      put char varEndChunk to varTemp of field 1 into varTemp
      if varTemp is "<script" then
        put "script" into varTagType
      end if
      put varEndChunk + 7 into varTemp
      put char varEndChunk to varTemp of field 1 into varTemp
      if varTemp is "</script" then
        put "script" into varTagType
      end if
      put varEndChunk + 1 into varEndChunk
      put char varEndChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 into varTemp
repeat until varTemp is ">" or varGetOut is 1 or varCounter >= varTotal
        put varCounter into field "fStatusBar"
        put char varEndChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 into varTemp
        if varTemp is "<" then
          put 1 into varGetOut
        end if
        if varTemp is ">" then
          if varTagType is "comment" then
set the textstyle of char varStartChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 to Italic set the foregroundColor of char varStartChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 to "#404040"
          else if varTagType is "script" then
set the foregroundColor of char varStartChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 to "#ff0000"
          else
--set the textstyle of char varStartChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 to Bold set the foregroundColor of char varStartChunk to varEndChunk of field 1 to "#0000FF"
          end if
        end if
        put varEndChunk + 1 into varEndChunk
        put varCounter + 1 into varCounter
        --put varTotal && "/" && varCounter into field "fStatusBar"
      end repeat
    else
      put varStartChunk + 1 into varStartChunk
      put varEndChunk + 1 into varEndChunk
    end if
    put varCounter + 1 into varCounter
    put varEndChunk into varStartChunk
    --put varTotal && "/" && varCounter into field "fStatusBar"
  end repeat
  unlock screen
end SubHighlight

It's not optimized code and there's some extra stuff in there for testing. And I know it's not pretty code either, it's merely a few hours worth of thinking and trying code.

I do not know of any other way to check the contents of the FIELD without having to check the entire contents.

Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts, suggestions or have done some code like this before, that could help me out with this?

Thanks,
-Garrett
