color dependent tiers

[Leonid Spektor]

 Rob,

	The color information is stored inside the CHAT text files. When you open such file with CLAN the line that specifies the color scheme is deleted. You can open this file using TextEdit application on Mac or Notepad application on Windows machine and you'll see line similar to this at the top of file:

@Color words:	%spa: 7 0 54563 876 *MOT: 7 57232 1957 6009 

This particular line instructs CLAN to display %spa tier in green color and *MOT tier in red color. After you select the color scheme for one particular CHAT file, then you can open that file with one of the above mentioned text editors and copy the whole "@Color words:" tier to any other CHAT files that you want to have the same color scheme in.

If you have BBEdit or know of any program that can do regular expression search and replace function, then you can use it to add  "@Color words:" tier to all CHAT files you want color added to. You can also use chstring CLAN command with either one of the following commands:

chstring +t@ +d +caddcolor.cut *.cha

chstring +t@ +d +s"@Begin" "@Color words: %spa: 7 0 54563 876 *MOT: 7 57232 1957 6009\n at Begin" *.cha

The file "addcolor.cut" needed in first command is attached to this email.

Leonid.
