colouring a single word

-----------------------------------

How do you make it so that one word in a sentance is differnt than the next?


colour(10)

put "bob went to the house."



How would I make the word "went" a different colour than the rest of the sentance?

Like this pretty much:

colour (10)
put "bob "..
colour (11)
put "went "..
colour (12)
put "to "..
colour (13)
put "the "..
colour (14)
put "house"

Which sucks pretty much. You could also (maybe) split the setence up into an array where each cell is a word, but that's pretty ugly. But why do you want each word in a sentence to be a different colour? That could have a really ugly look.

var sentance : string := "bob went to look for colours"
var key : string := "went"

colour (7)
put sentance (1..index(sentance, key)-1)..
colour (12)
put sentance (index(sentance, key)..index(sentance, key) + length(key))..
colour (7)
put sentance (index(sentance, key) + length(key) + 1..*)


Will only work for one incidence of 'key'.
