A Code Snippet for Searching and Highlighting a token or string in a RichTextBox
Suppose that you intend to find a string or a token (i.e., whole word, instead of a substring) and change their color in some Windows Forms RichTextBox

method looks for instances of an arbitrary string in the contents of the RichTextBox
, while the FindTokenAndSetColor
method looks for whole words (tokens).
