highlight keyword colors

[billwoo1]

I have data that constantly scrolls across my screen. I would like certain keywords to be more pronounced by changing its color. I found this script but cant get it to work. It looks like its made to hilight the words in 5 different keyword lists with different colors.Was this written for procomm aspect. My version is 4.8

Actually that appears to be for use in a code editor that would let different ASPECT keywords be highlighted in different colors (I have a few such wordlists for a couple different editors on my site).

Do you have any control over the output from the remote system? If so, you could use escape codes to send the appropriate color code to have the text appear in the desired color. You would need to make sure you were using the proper escape sequences for the terminal emulation required for that system and this would also affect anyone else connecting to that system, so it may not be the ideal solution.

There may be a way to do this with multiple when target commands (one for each string you are interested in highlighting) and by inserting the escape sequences mentioned above in the proper part of the data stream. That would also require reading the incoming data line by line, parsing it for the strings, and then displaying that in Procomm, so it may not flow as smoothly as before.
