Friend  This is the Code you need . using System.Text.RegularExpressions; private void richTextBox1_TextChanged( object sender EventArgs e) { Regex rex = new Regex ( This ); int selectionstart = richTextBox1.SelectionStart; foreach ( Match m in rex.Matches(richTextBox1.Text)) { richTextBox1.Select(m.Index m.Value.Length); richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color .Blue; richTextBox1.SelectionStart = selectionstart; richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color .Black; } }
