find text with formatting or styles

Show all headers | View raw

Is there any chance to find which text part within a text is formatted?

You can add formatting with TextStyleAdd.
Example:

if(patterncount(text,"""")=2,
let(
[begin=position(text,"""",1,1),
end= position(text,"""",1,2),
substring=middle(text,begin+1,end-begin-1)],
left(text,begin) &
TextStyleAdd ( substring ; bold )&
middle(text,end,9999)),
text)

will change the text
  the "second" word
to
  the "*second*" word

The formatting condition here would remain available.

But how about a *formatted* text
    the *second* word
where the formatting is a text option.

Is there any reverse function for a TextStyleAdd,
such as
 get(TextStyled(text,bold) 		-> second
 get(TextStyledPosition(text, bold)) 	-> 5
 get(TextStyledLength (text,bold) 	-> 6

I still do use FMP 11
