python - How to highlight a specific word in tkinter? -

i need highlight specific word in text within tkinter frame. in order find word, put balise in html. in text "hello i'm in |house|" want highlight word "house".

my frame defined that:

class framecodage(frame): self.t2codage = text(self, height=20, width=50)

and insert text code: fenetre.fcodage.t2codage.insert(end, res) , res being variable containing text.

i saw code on other post:

class customtext(tk.text): '''a text widget new method, highlight_pattern()  example:  text = customtext() text.tag_configure("red", foreground="#ff0000") text.highlight_pattern("this should red", "red")  highlight_pattern method simplified python version of tcl code @ http://wiki.tcl.tk/3246 ''' def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):     tk.text.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)  def highlight_pattern(self, pattern, tag, start="1.0", end="end",                       regexp=false):     '''apply given tag text matches given pattern      if 'regexp' set true, pattern treated regular     expression.     '''      start = self.index(start)     end = self.index(end)     self.mark_set("matchstart", start)     self.mark_set("matchend", start)     self.mark_set("searchlimit", end)      count = tk.intvar()     while true:         index = self.search(pattern, "matchend","searchlimit",                             count=count, regexp=regexp)         if index == "": break         self.mark_set("matchstart", index)         self.mark_set("matchend", "%s+%sc" % (index, count.get()))         self.tag_add(tag, "matchstart", "matchend") 

but few things don't understand: how can apply function case? when did call function? what's pattern , tag in case? i'm beginner in tkinter don't hesitate explain me code, or another.

instead of this:

class framecodage(frame):     self.t2codage = text(self, height=20, width=50) 

... this:

class framecodage(frame):     self.t2codage = customtext(self, height=20, width=50) 

next, create "highlight" tag, , configure want:

self.t2codage.tag_configure("highlight", foreground="red") 

finally, can call highlight_pattern method if standard method:

self.t2codage.highlight_pattern(r"\|.*?\|", "red", regexp=true)
