Re: Syntax Highlighting Prob - Adding Other Colors.

while (area.length) {
found = [string rangeOfString:@"Mike"
options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch
range:area];

if (found.location == NSNotFound) break;
[textStorage addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName
value:blue
range:found];
area.location = NSMaxRange(found);
area.length = length - area.location;

This code is part of a bigger piece (obvious). What I want to succeed
with is, adding another color, and text. I know I need to use if, else
if etc. But, I've tried and just can't figure it out. So to summarize,
say I want the word George in red, how would I do that? Currently I
have Mike in blue. I would really appreciate the help!

You plrobably want to put a second loop around the first one that resets range to its initial value (so the search starts again at the start of your text), and use an NSString* variable instead of @"Mike" and an NSColor* variable instead of blue. Then set these variables to the string and color you want to use this time through the loop. In pseudocode:

NSColor colors[15]
NSString strings[15]

for( x = 0; x < 15; x++ )
{
range.length := textStorage.length
range.offset := 0
currColor := colors[x]
currString := strings[x]
while( range.length )
{
found := [string rangeOfString: currString]
if( found )
[textStorage addAttribute:FgColor value:currColor]
}
}

You get the picture.
