Hi ,
Thanks a lot for the reply.Is it possible to do
regex matches in a Tk text widget? I need not only
to search for the **'s, I need to extract
the word next to the 2nd *, change it's font color
and then delete the **'s.The user needs to see the text
in a window, and the font color change for certain words
on a button click.
I need to mark certain word with
the color change instead of the **'s I previously used.
Thanx

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
