Examples

Beginner

To change the color of text if it begins with the word Lasso:

Use the [String->Contains] method within the [If] ... [/If] conditional. If the string Company_Name contains the word Lasso then the company name is colored blue using <font>...</font> tags, otherwise it is displayed normally.

Code

local(Company_Name) = 'LassoSoft'
if(#Company_Name->beginswith('Lasso'))
  '<font color="blue">'+#Company_Name+'</font>'
else
  #Company_Name
/if

Result

<font color="blue">LassoSoft</font>
