We had a call from a user who was working on some date conversions in a program. He asked if there was a way to hilite the word "date" when listing a program. Told him that there is no Qedit function for this, but that he could get something similar with these simple command files:
Hilite.cmd
parm string {1 parameter - the word to be highlighted}
/cq \!string\ \Esc&dB !string Esc&d@\ @
This can be used multiple times to hilite different words ....
All hilites can be reversed with:
Unhilite.cmd
/cq \Esc&dB\ \\ @ {cha Esc&dB to null}
/cq \Esc&d@\ \\ @ {cha Esc&d@ to null}
/set decimal on /cha "Esc" '27 @
