sf::Text coloring chosen characters?

[Orezar]

Hello,

is it possible to implement a function that allows to give choosen Characters a special Color...

The problem is that it is to difficult if i work with hundred of sf::Text Objects...
This is the only solution that i can think of... So with my solution i must split the sf::Text Object
in many part sf::Text Objects...

Is there a way to make this easier?
If not, can you implement a function that allows this?

Because a picture says more than thousend words, thats what i want:


I think a function like these:

setCharacterColor(fromCharacterPos, toCharacterPos, newColor)

would be perfect...

It seems like a very specific request, I can't find any use case where one would like to assign colors to specific characters in a text.

Could you tell me more about your use case?

I need it for a syntax highlighter and for a chat...

It is difficult and a little bit complicated using my solution for large Strings because of this
I ask here for this feature... don't hate me...

You could use something like this instead:

It's coded for SFML 1.6 but you could easily adapt it to SFML 2.0.

Why don't you simply post your solution? You might even get a hint or two.
