VB Richtextbox text formatting

I need a simple function that takes a richtextbox and maximum position on line as input and performs the following action: On every line of the richtextbox, a check is made to see if a colon is present, and if so the text up to and including the colon on that line is made bold. The remaining text on the line is left alone. If a colon is not found within X number of chars, the function skips the line and moves to next. Once the first colon is found on a line, remaining colons are ignored. Example... DATE: 11/22/2005 NAME: Mike Smith DATA: This is a test sentance that can be any length. The words DATE:, NAME: and DATA: would be all bold once the function finishes. I need this function in a hurry. Should be easy an experienced coder; my version is a pile of spagetti and I don't want to think about it anymore tonight = ( ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
