Re: Changing colouring through a line of text

[Bipul kumar]

Hi,
I apologize for my mistake in sending you the wrong image earlier.
Things have been a bit hectic here, but I have set aside two hours to
address your concerns and debug the code.
Please find the  correct code and I hope that it will resolve your issue.

Apart, I would suggest that you should add some error handling into this
script to prevent any further mishaps.
Thank you for your understanding.
