color for highlighting

hi,
is it possible to give the highlighted query a color like red? i only found the m-flag in the fmt-function and there is no possibility.
best regards
Astrid

There's no option to do this directly, but if there are no tags you wish preserved already in your text, you can use "%mbH" and <sandr> the resulting and tags into red:

<strfmt "%mbH" $query $txt>
<$s = "" "">
<$r = "" "">
<sandr $s $r $ret>
<send $ret>

I write the following into the script:
<fmtcp query "%mbH" $mmfmt>
<$s = "" "">
<$r = "" "">
<sandr $s $r $ret>
<send $ret>

But it doesn´t work. Maybe I wrote this into the wrong section. Can yout tell me the section?
thanks

Put it where the data you want hilighted is output. But you've replaced <strfmt> with <fmtcp>. That is incorrect. Follow the example kai gave.

Can you tell me what the argument $txt means?
I can´t find it in my documentation.
<strfmt "%mbH" $query $txt>
<$exp = "" "">
<$replace = "" "">
<sandr $exp $replace $ret>
<send $ret>
Thanks

$txt is the variable that contains the text to be marked up. It could be any variable, depends on the script context.

Sounds like you're using <mm> somewhere but haven't called <fmtcp> to setup a query. If you're using the <strfmt> method you probably shouldn't be using <mm>.
