I am doing on a program to let user enter a Alphabet then the program will search the sentance in put by the user and highlight the Alphabet and display the Alphabet in a different color from the string.
this is the problem i know how to extract the Alphabet from the string but i dun know how to print the string out with individual Alphabet in a different color.
I am open to all suggestion and advice thanks in advance!!!
is this a command line application program that we are talking about..? or is it a GUI ? if its a GUI then ever heard of AWT.
im not sure if the command line program can allow individual characters to change color, but there must be some way i guess so, mean while let me check if i can change colors at when ouputt is on command line prompt
You could use a JEditorPane or even a JLabel: The JEditorPane has the advantage that it is editable. [ February 02, 2006: Message edited by: Jeff Albertson ]

Where is the problem? Is it with creating a color from your user's input? Recall that in HTML you can specify color as a number, for example yellow is:
color = "#FFFF00"

I think you have described your task fairly, well. I've shown you how Java can use basic HTML markup to add colors to text. I suggest you start coding and post specific questions when you get stuck.
