In the formula tool, you can change the output column to whichever column is needed then use the following formula.

 

If contains([TextMessage], "xx") then [var] - 1 else [var] endif

 

you might need an = TRUE before the then, I can't remember off the top of my head but that will subtract 1 from a variable if the string contains "xx" otherwise it will just leave it as it is.
