Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to run a script depending on whether a text item contains text from another text item. In this case, we have two teams, and our operator enters various comments for each team. So depending on which team is mentioned, (for example, if one team is called the Lions, when the operator enters "Lions are 4-0 this season") we want to toggle their logo. This is all done in one scene, and all the team info is fetched from an xml datalinq scource.

So here's what I have so far: I have three text items: Home Team and Guest Team (which are hidden), and the main text item with this script:



dim hometeam as xpTextObject

dim guestteam as xpTextObject

dim homelogo as xpBaseObject

dim guestlogo as xpBaseObject

scene.GetObjectByName("Home Team Text", hometeam)

scene.GetObjectByName("Home Team Logo", homelogo)

scene.GetObjectByName("Guest Team Text", guestteam)

scene.GetObjectByName("Guest Team Logo", guestlogo)

if text.contains(hometeam.text) then

homelogo.visible = true

guestlogo.visible = false

else

homelogo.visible = false

guestlogo.visible = true

end if



But it doesn't seem to be working. I'm guessing it's something to do with the "if text.contains" command?

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

text.contains is not a valid vbscript function.

Try this instead:

`if InStr(text, hometeam.text) then`

InStr Function
