How do I select lines in a richedit control one at a time. I want to select the first line, do some processing on/with it and then de-select the line and select the next one, and so on till the last line is done.

If this is possible please let me know how, and if this is something that should be blindingly obvious, i appologise.

Thanks,

Joe.

The lines in a richedit control can be accessed through the lines property. Thus if your richedit control is called Red and you wish to change the first occurence of 'Sunday' to 'Monday' you could do:

  Red.lines[0] := StringReplace ( Red.lines[0], 'Sunday', 'Monday', [] );

Note that there may be some funny control characters in the line to set attributes such as color, size, style and so on. This may or may not be a problem for you depending on what processing you intend to carry out.
