I have made a calculation that higlights a word within a string. Now I want
to higlight the word House, when I type house or House. Ans similarly I want
to highlight the word boy, when I type boy or Boy. I have tried the upper
and lower function, but when I try this the last function used overrides the
first function use.

gHighlite is a global where I type the word I am looking for.
cSearchField is a field that allready exist, containing all the data and
fields I need, But wit a Return between all the words. So I start with
substituting all returns with spaces.

Let ( [
A =Substitute ( cSearchField; "¶";" " ) ;
B = Substitute ( A ; gHighLite ; TextSize ( TextStyleAdd ( gHighLite ;
Bold ); 18 ) )
];
B
)

This works only when the typed word exactly matches the word I have typed.

Let ( [
A =Substitute ( cZoek; "¶";" " ) ;
B = Substitute ( A ;
[ Lower ( gHighLite ) ; TextSize ( TextStyleAdd ( gHighLite ; Bold ); 18 ) ]
;
[ Upper ( gHighLite ) ; TextSize ( TextStyleAdd ( gHighLite ; Bold );
18 ) ] );
];
B
)

Only matches the when the word I am looking for is Upper allready, not when
it is Lower.

So what do I havew to do in order to do what I wanted?

Thanks and keep well, Ursus

Thanks Matt, but this is not what I want. When I look to highlight: The, it
will allways highlight those three lettters at the start of all words.
Like: THEm and THEir.

I want an exact match.

Keep well, Ursus

There may be another CF at BrianDunning.com that works on whole words.

Yes, I thought of that, but haven't found it. Now I'm looking to adapt the
function by myself... But I'm never particularly good with recursing
funtions.

Keep well, Ursus

You may also have a look at

under the title 'Free download for .fp7 files'.
It may do what you're looking for.
