If I will not know a complete phrase ahead of time only part of the wording, how can I make the complete phrase bold.

Example of text:

"Amount Received Via" Visa endinging in XXXX dated 4/08/2008.

The portion in quotes and the year is the only known segment.

Text in this field that does not start with Amount Received, will remain plain.

Is there a way to define text like : "Amount Received Via ..... 2008" so that anything beginning and ending would be caught.

thanks,

Jim

How about the following, just change "n" to be the field containing your block of text, and change "start" and "end" to be the pieces of the text you know and want to contain the bold section:

Code: Select all

Let ( [
n = "Here is some text. Amount Received Via Visa endinging in XXXX dated 4/08/2008. And here is some more text" ;
start = "Amount Received Via" ;
end = "2008." ;
string = Middle ( n ; Position ( n ; start ; 1 ; 1 ) ; Position ( n ; end ; 1 ; 1 ) + Length ( end )- 1 - Position ( n ; start ; 1 ; 1 ) )
] ;

Replace ( n ; Position ( n ; start ; 1 ; 1 ) ; Length ( string )  ; TextStyleAdd ( string ; Bold ) )

)

Returns: Here is some text. Amount Received Via Visa endinging in XXXX dated 4/08/2008. And here is some more text
