I need to create a program that accepts a string input and will highlight certain words that is in my String List.

Example:

String MyList[] = {"Dog","Cat","Lion"};

Sample Input Text: I have a Dog and a Cat and a Lion . "

I dont have problem if the input text doesn't have any new line or escape character but if the input text have new line, this is the result.

Example:

String MyList[] = {"Dog","Cat","Lion"}; 

Sample Input Text:

I have a Dog 
and a Cat
and a Lion

Note: The uppercase character means highligthed character

I have a DOG
and a cAT
and a liON

My Sample Code for Highlighting:

for(String x : MyList)
{

int startOffset = inputText.indexOf(x);
doc.setCharacterAttributes  (startOffset,x.length,myStyle,false);


}

I guess the problem is the Newline or escape character but I can't find a way to fix it.

How can I get the correct start offset of the word if ever the input string have new line/s?

Any Idea?
