Hi
I am using a scrolled text box for displaying my log results. The text box has a default foreground color(i.e blue) and default background colour (i.e white). But depending on some pass and fail results I am changing that colour to green and red respectively using tagConfigure.
But due to presence of some continuous special characer (like * ) in a line , the rest of the colour coding is getting destroyed.

For example if two consecutive lines contain :

***********************************
***********************************
The colur display is getting corrupted, can you please tell me why this is happening.
Below is the snippet of my logfile code and the tagConfigure sub routine :

Thanks in advance, please help. Assume that the below syntax are correct in my code, this is just to give you an idea of my code and how I am using this.


my $logfiletextbox = $frame->Scrolled ('Text', 
                            -scrollbars => 'osoe',
                            -background => 'white',
                            -foreground => 'blue');

$logfiletextbox-tagConfigure($tag, -foreground => 'green')if $result =
+~ /pass/;
$logfiletextbox-tagConfigure($tag, -foreground => 'red')if $result =~ 
+/fail/;
