How to add a $ symbol as prefix in a variable ?

Beast · ‎08-04-2022

I have a variable named amount in my record producer. After adding the value to the variable i want to add a $ symbol infront of the value.

EG : If I enter 2000 , I want $2000.

I tried onChange client script but it is not worked as expected.

Please help

Thanks

Does this help?

function FormatPrice(varName, strValue) {
   //varName is the variable name
   //strValue is the entered value of the Single Line Text variable
 
   var xNum = Number(strValue.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, "")).toFixed(2);
   var xStr = xNum.toString();
   xStr = '$' + xStr.replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
   g_form.setValue(varName, xStr);
   return;
}

This function is then called on the OnChange catalog client script for the cost variable

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }

   FormatPrice('cost', newValue);
   return;
}

Hi,

What type of field is that amount?

Can you also share the script you already tried

It is string filed.

This is my code.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    
 var amount = g_form.getValue('amount');
 g_form.clearValue('amount');
g_form.setValue('amount','$'+amount);

}

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
   if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
      return;
   }
try 
{
var str = '$'+newValue;
g_form.setValue('your_cost_field',str);
}
catch(e)
{}
}
