Changing Text Object Color with Multiple Select in Field

[rustyfishbones]

Hi All,

I have the following expression

I have a Text object with an Action of Select in Field, and it looks like this

But when I click the Text Object to select the fields, the background color should turn to the $(color.green)

but it does not seem to be working

Any help would be great

Hi Jagan,

One final question, how can I get the color to change for the excluded files

so I have select in field (.P|.R|.I|.W|.D|.WRX) and then Select Excluded

but how to get a new button to change color for all selections not in (.P|.R|.I|.W|.D|.WRX)

Thanks

Alan

Allan;

Try changing the expression of the action "select field" to:

(. P |. I) without the double quotes

[#4]

inverting the expression passed by Jagan

= if (not WildMatch (GetFieldSelections (File, '|'), '(. P |. R |. I |. W |. D |. WRX)'), blue (), green ())

Thanks Claudio,

That works fine

I have used NOT WILDMATCH before, I just tend to forget these things if I have not used them in a while

Thanks again

U can go with Claudio expr for exclude values

Thanks Jagan.

However, although it does color the background based on the NOT part being added

It also continues to highlight if I select some of the other buttons

see below example, I selected .wrx, but it also highlights aof.

If I select aof first it's fine, but if I select .P|.R|.I|.W|.D|.WRX it also highlights aof
