HI

I need to find words in a large string/textfile for certain words/patterns.
I need to hilight those word(s). How do I go about this?

thanks

How are you displaying the text? It'snot too hard if you are displaying
in HTML. You search for the pattern, then replace it with the pattern,
surrounded by highlighting tags.
example:
find: /test/
replacewith: /<b>test<\/b>/
