RTF Trouble

[DeepGames]

I was wondering how to search for a particular string and colourize it, it sounded easy but I can't seem to do it... I'm not to familiar with RTF Codes or anything so I dunno..

Are you familiar with loops?
You can loop through the text looking for the string...

-Start loop "search" GetNChars( "Rich Edit Object" ) times

-On loop "search"
-GetText$( "Rich Edit Object", LoopIndex("search"), LoopIndex("search")+Len( <string> )) = <string>
+Select characters from LoopIndex("search") to LoopIndex("search")+Len( <string> )
+Set font colour to <color>
+Deselect block

Where <string> can be text from an edit box or whatever.
There are a few tricks that can improve the search time if needed.

Hey man thanks, I figured loops but I don't use them that often. :P

No problem!
You might need to set the caret position at the end of the loop, I think it gets placed at the selection.
