Function ScreenMark() Foundation

Searches strings on the screen and marks them with a color attribute.

Syntax
ScreenMark( <cSearchString>        , ;  // Type:  C
            <cColorAttr|nColorAttr>, ;  // Type: CN
            <lCaseSensitive>       , ;  // Type:  L
            [<lAllStringsFound>]   , ;  // Type:  L   Default: .F.
            [<cPreDelimiter>]      , ;  // Type:  C   Default: ""
            [<cPostDelimiter>]       ;  // Type:  C   Default: ""
          ) --> lFound
Description

If <lAllStringsFound> is set .T. all occurrances of <cSearchString> visible on the screen are marked with the specified color attribute.

The parameters <cPreDelimiter> and <cPostDelimiter> are lists of characters that may serve as delimiters for words. For example, if the word "BASE" is to be marked only as a complete word and not as a substring like in "XBASE++" a blank space can be specified as pre- and post delimiter (more precisely: the return value of GetClearB() is to be used since this character clears a screen).

Note: The cursor position remains unchanged when calling ScreenMark().
