Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Conditional format color based on instr

Oct 28, 2016 12:26PM edited Oct 28, 2016 5:24PM in BI Publisher (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello,

I have to set a conditional visual attribute for a field when the field content begins with an astrix (*). I tried the following but I get an error.

<?FIELD_NAME?><?if:instr(FIELD_NAME,'*')=1?><?attribute@incontext:background-color;'Gray'?><?attribute@incontext:color;'White'?><?end if?>

Error while trying to Preview the template:

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Parse Error in instr function.

oracle.xdo11g.xpath.XPathException: Parse Error in instr function.

at oracle.xdo11g.xslt.XSLProcessor.reportException

Can you spot an error in my syntax above or Is the instr function not supported for conditional formatting?
