I was wondering can I use styled text to assign one occurance of
@evtrievefindings.push as being in the colour red, eg.

if 100
@evtrievefindings.push "info"
end
if 200
@evtrievefindings.push.changestyle "different info"
end

Does this make sense? Basically I want my program to write the contents of the
array to the text frame as normal but when data meets one criteria I want the
data written to the array to be a colour.

If what you''re asking is whether you can embed some sort of markup in
the text itself to change the text style (e.g. as you do with HTML), and the
answer to that question is no.


What you might want to investigate is appending text to the FXText window
incrementally (instead of setting the content in one fell swoop), e.g.


@evtrievefindings.each do |finding|

text_widget.appendText(finding + "\n")

end



And then once you''ve got that working, switch over to using styled
text. You would still need to keep some sort of indicator in the
@etrievefindings array (or a parallel array), but you could at least know which
style to apply:


@etrievefindings.each do |finding|

if condition1

text_widget.appendStyledText(finding + "\n", style1)

else

text_widget.appendStyledText(finding + "\n", style2)

end

end



Hope this helps,
