Thankx for the reply but dont think thats gonna work all that well. Am trying to highlight strings in a ps file. Am able to search for the string as I have the source code for the ps file and it has been generated from tex using the latex command and then dvips. Now my problem is that any changes made to the source code arent quite helpful in changing the output (the generated ps file) that you see on ggv. I would've been able to do something by simply modifying the tex file. But I dont have the tex file just the generated ps file. I need to do something so that I can make changes to that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Am trying to highlight strings in a ps file. Am able to search for the string. Any suggestions on how to highlight the already searched string using C? - Show quoted text - On 2/9/06, STYMA, ROBERT E (ROBERT) <stymar@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >Hello > >I want to use graphics in C to highlight text in a file. > > Can someone tell me how to use some basic graphic > > functions to acheive this? > > Nimit > > It depends how you are going to display the file.
