[RESOLVED] How do I write a formatted document

[Mad_T]

Hi
Currently I'm using fwrite to create a txt file and this works very well.

However I've updated my script and now I'd like to be able to add some fonts (bold / color) to the resulting file.

The aim is to have most of the outputted lines as normal default text, but any that match my criteria should be written in bold and red !

I assume it's possible... but how ? 🙂

Any pointers.

Thanks

.txt files are Plain Text - I don't think you can add styles like that. You might be better off uppercasing matches or throwing some ##### tags ###### around them or something to that effect. Or you might want to look into RTF files.

You could output it as an .rtf file, with the desired RTF mark-up.

Thanks for the replies.

I should have mentioned that I know this can't be done with text files.

So how do I do it with rtf files??

Thanks

Exactly like you would with HTML, but using RTF mark-up instead. (And you'd probably want to set a content-type header with whatever is the accepted standard descriptor for RTF files.)
