Highlighting a text within a row

vinod

Hi
i have a report parameter (say params["job"].value) in my design.i am fetching one column(say dataSetRow["Content"]) from the database.Now what I am trying to do is to highlight that report parameter value(for ex Engineer) within a row in the report design.So only Engineer is to be highlighted in all the rows fetched by dataSetRow["Content"] .I have seen from the examples that based on conditional highlighting selective rows can be highlighted in the design,but my requirement is to highlight a text(which is the value of the report parameter) within a row in the report and not the entire row.
In Oncreate Method of the table row in design , i am trying to do

row = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("Content");
parameter = params["job"].value.toLowerCase();
var intIndexOfMatch = row .indexOf(parameter);

while (intIndexOfMatch !=-1)
{

// Code for colourind the matched string background
// Get the index of any next matching substring.
intIndexOfMatch = row .indexOf(parameter);

}

Can someone please guide me,please

I have attached a sample to do what you are looking for. It is simpler than the strategy you were driving at and does not involve modifying the table/source data at all. Instead, I used a Text control to render a column on the table (instead of a standard Data Item). In the Text Item, I use a Regular Expression to find the term passed into the report via the parameter and I re-write the field to show that term in BOLD.<br />
<br />
This is the important bit:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
// Build a RegExp (need a stand-alone variable param interpolation)
regExp = new RegExp (params["pHLText"].value, "gi");

//Scrub the data.
row["PRODUCTDESCRIPTION"].replace(regExp, "[b]" + params["pHLText"].value + "[/b]")
</pre>
<br />
Notice the RegExp is set to be case insensitive and global in its scope.<br />
<br />
The sample is built using the bundled Classic Models database so you should be able to download and run it your self.<br />
<br />
Good Luck!
