I forgot to mention an important function, at() (indicate at what position the substring is located).

I improvised the following sample.

Create a form, place an EditBox called EdbSample on it.

Add a button to the form; in the Click() Event, place the following code:

local lcWord, lnPosition
lcWord = "some"
with ThisForm.EdbSample
	.Value = "This is some text" + chr(13) + chr(10) + "Line 2"
	lnPosition = at(lcWord, .Value)
	if lnPosition > 0 && if found
		.SelStart = lnPosition - 1
		.SelLength = len(lcWord)
	endif
	.SetFocus()
endwith

A real textbox will - in many cases - be bound (through its .ControlSource) to a memo field, but the code should probably still work.

HTH,

Hilmar.
