conditional formatting, how to do it

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Peter,

Don't know if it will help, but:

Many times, it appears more efficient to set 'char 1 to -1 of line  
<line number> to <style>
So, in your case:

local tNum, tText
-----
lock screen
put 0 into tNum
put field "test" of stack "Calendar" into tText
repeat for each line tLine in tText
   if word 1 of tLine = "Sunday" then
     set the textStyle of char 1 to -1 of line tNum of field "test"  
of stack "Calendar" to "bold"
   end if
   add 1 to tNum
end repeat
unlock screen
