Add " - " symbol after every two numbers in string field.

[ar1]

HI All,
Can anyone please help us on the below requirement.

We have one field called "Count" and it's string type.
And when an end user enter any numbers in the field we need to automatically add the " - " symbol after every two numbers.

Examples:

-->  12-34-56
--> 32-3
--> 45

Advance thanks.

You can create onChange() Catalog Client Script on your Count variable and use below script in your client script.

var str = newValue.toString();

var temp = str.slice(0, 2);
for (var i=2; i<str.length; i+=2){
        temp += '-' + str.slice(i, i+2);
}

g_form.setValue('<backend_name_of_count_variable>', temp);

Hi Muhammad,
Many thanks for the response.
we tried your script , but it's not working.
when we add the alerts to check the loop,
it's continuously running in the loop and it's not setting the value in the count field.

Thanks.

Hello, 

You can do it by simple string manipulations

var NewCount = ''";
var Count = g_form.getValue('u_count');
for (var i = 0; i < Count.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0 && i != 0) {
NewCount = NewCount + "-" + Count[i];
} else {
NewCount = NewCount + Count[i];
}
}

g_form.setValue('u_count', NewCount);

Hi Shubham,
Thanks for the response.
We tried your code but it's not working.
The instance is freezing.


Thanks.
