Hi folks.
Thank you for reading my question.

I started to code a simple text-editor and I want to equip it with a find box, where you can decide if you want to find & replace or only find a regular expression.
"Find & Replace" is doing fine, but how can I realize Syntax-Highlightning, where every found RegEx is coloured?

Here some code:



Greetings,
Thorsten

JTextArea does not support highlighting. Check out JTextPane with a StyledDocument.

That was the right hint!

Thank you
