Change color / styling of text mid-string?
Jan 22nd, 2009, 7:56am  
I'd like to change the color of my text mid-string.  Specifically, I'd like display a certain keyword in red every time it appears.  So let's say the word "bob" appears twice in the string tweet[i] -- how do I make "bob" red and the rest of the text blue?  

text(tweet[counter], 200, 150, 500, 200);

(I don't want to have to use a mono-spaced font, and I want my text to wrap, so I'm specifying a width and height for the text area)

Thanks!

Unfortunately I think you have to do it by hand.

textWidth will tell you the width of a given string to make positioning easier (so you don't have to use monospaced), but you'll ahve to handle multiple lines etc yourself AFAIK.
