multiple Patterns in a Expression

[Venkatachalam P]

Hi,

I need to give the date pattern (dd/MMM/yyyy) in the below expression

"Business Date - Form  :"+$P{p_fromDate}+"   To : " + $P{p_toDate}.

Suppose if I give the above expression in separate text filed means its working fine. 

And then One more scenario I need to give A, B, C values in a text filed. But I need to bold the B value.  (for eg: VK is Prospect  Customer for ABC product)

May I know is there any possible for above scenarios.

Thanks

Hi,

In order to format the date you can put this kind of expression:

  new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, yyyy").format($P{p_fromDate})

As far as I have tried , I could not find any complex expression to solve the font changing of the in between text, but a work around for this can be that you can create 3 text fields containing 3 different parts and the portion you want to do bold, you can just do it from the options there to do the text bold.

 

Hope that this helps.
Thanks
