The most embarrassing thing about this is I've already asked this question,
got an answer and now can't find it. Please excuse me for asking this
again...
I have a text box in XPress (4.11 on 9.2) which contains something like:
product name <tab> 10% Off <tab> #10 <tab> #20 <CR>
product name <tab> 3 or more <tab> #29 <tab> #2 <CR>
product name <tab> 10% Off <tab> #23 <tab> #10 <CR>
and so on...
What I want to achieve in pseudo-script is
if discount contains "Off" then set color of bit between first tabs to
"red"
if discount contains "or more" then set color of bit between first tabs to
"blue"
My problem is that the product name can have a varying number of words and
characters so I can't set words 3 thru 4 or characters 20 thru 30. As I
said, someone did post a solution for me but I can't find it. If that
person (or anyone) could send the answer direct to me as well as to the
list, I promise to be eternaly greatful and not to lose the solution again.
Thanks,
Steve
