Hi, I am new to python but learned somewhat about lists, tuples, dictionaries, db and gui (just introductory stuffs), and am trying to write a program that will alllow users to input some key words to search in a report. if key words are present in the report then the program should highlight them either yellow or red or any color highlight over the key words.
how can i code it?
Thanks
Jump to Posthi,
here's a small example illustrating the find function:s = """This is an example string searching method.""" word = "searching" print s.find( word ) # -> 26 # and some documentation for the function: #Help on built-in function find: #find(...) # S.find(sub [,start [,end]]) -> int …
hi,
here's a small example illustrating the find function:
s = """This is an example
string searching method."""
word = "searching"
print s.find( word )
# -> 26
# and some documentation for the function:
#Help on built-in function find:
#find(...)
# S.find(sub [,start [,end]]) -> int
# Return the lowest index in S where substring sub is found,
# such that sub is contained within s[start:end]. Optional
# arguments start and end are interpreted as in slice notation.
# Return -1 on failure.you should check vegaseat's example on highlighting words in text, I think it is in here:

hope this gives you some ideas :)
Thanks masterofpuppets for a good memory.
This might get you to the example faster ...
