Can I make a special character appear when typing? (Part 2)

Hi there
I am now working on an extended version of the issue describes in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3147856#3147856
The new field should hold digits in the format 9999-99999-99999-99, and I would like the hyphens to appear automatically when typing. I tried to modify the script I used before, but I can't get it to work properly. Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
My modified script looks this way:
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 4)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 5 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 4)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 10)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 11 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 10)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 16)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 17 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 16)
    xfa.event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change; }
    var vMax = 16; if (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-") != -3)
    vMax = 19;
But it only makes the hyphen at 17th character appear automatically.
I hope to hear from you.

Can I make a special character appear when typing?

Hi everybody.
I have a form with a text field provided with a validation script, which allows the user only to enter values in the format 999999-9999. The script is places on the exit event.
var myRegex = /\d{6}\-\d{4}/;
var
singleDigits = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
If the format is not correct, the user will get an error-message.
Now I would like the hyphen to appear automatically when typing. That means when the user has typed 123456 it will display as 123456-, ready to enter the last four characters.
Is that possible.
Kirstine
P.S. I know I can make that (almost) happen if I make the field a numeric field, but for several reasons this is not an option.

Here is a little script that can do what you are looking for..
Place the script in the Change event of the Text Field and set the Max chars property to 11 for the Text Field.
// restrict entry to digits and a dash
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    xfa.event.change = "";
// Allow the hyphen at the 7th character only
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 6)
    xfa.event.change = "";
// If the 7th character is a digit, and they're typing at the end, insert the hyphen
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 7 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 6)
    xfa.event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change;
// don't allow any characters past 10 (11 with a hyphen)
var vMax = 10;
if (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-") != -1)
    vMax = 11;
Thanks

How can I make the comments field appear when the operator is debugging a test?

When a test is being written the comments field is being utilized for information relating to what the test is doing and how to solve certain problems that arise. It is basically a quick place for the technician to look at when they are attempting to debug a board. However it appears when you view the sequence files these are off to the right side of the screen but when running the debug engine and the technician sets a break point then these comments are no longer visible to the user off to the right of the screen. Is there any way to have it include the comment in the data displayed when tracing through a test step by step. The technician can double click on each step but it would be alot mor
e user friendly and timly if these could be displayed just to the right of the execution flow column.

Hello John,
I assume you are talking about the sequence editor. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to view the comments associated with a step inside of the execution display window (i.e during run-time). If you are using the operator interface, then you may extract the comment associated with a step and post a custom UI message that contains this information. The operator interface can then be modified to respond to this UIMessage and update its display accordingly.
To post a UIMessage with this data, you must first obtain a PropertyObject reference to the step you are trying to extract the comment from. Then use the "Comment" property of the PropertyObject class to obtain the comment value.
Unfortunately, the Sequence Editor discards all custo
m UIMessages, and you will have no way of viewing the comment using the above method.
Hope this helps.

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Can I make media sharing always enable when wifi is off?

Hi all,
Can I make media sharing always enable when wifi is off?
or can i make media sharing automatically enable when wifi is on?
By the way my device curve 9220 OS 7.1
Thanks for your answer ^^

If you are describing the settings in System Preferences on your iMac, you need to turn those OFF. Your current setup has the iMac acting as the print server.
Instead you want to rely on the Time Capsule to do the printer sharing. You would configure that using AirPort Utility.
Thanks Duane, that bit of information did the trick. All I had to do was turn printer sharing off in sys prefs and it now works the way I thought it should work.
Once again thanks so much for the help.

When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
Replaceii[spacebar]
With
I[spacebar]
Press return
Quit System Preferences
Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

Reg: Special Character Appearing in Excel O/P.

I am getting excel output generated via an Oracle report (CSV format). In the excel output, I am getting a special character for TAB (Chr9, a box). Since user wants to sort the data, because of this character they are not able to sort data in sheet properly.
Can anyone suggest what could cause this special character to appear in the report output? I am looking from layout perspective also. Is this has something to do with the printing style applied to the concurrent program?
Thanks In advance.

I had the same problem and this is what I did, works great. You have the total control.
function BeforeReport return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- creating a file name
:CP_filename := 'C:\Gap'||to_char(sysdate,'MMDDYYHHMISS')||'.csv';
-- Opening the file in write mode
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'w');
-- writing the column headings into the file
text_io.put_line(fp,'"Platform","Sys#","GapType",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
and then where ever it is suitable, depending on the requirement, write into file by opening it in the append mode.
function R_G_systemplatformFormatTrigge return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- srw.message(99,:dname);
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'a');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || :systemplatform || '",');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || to_char(:sysno) || '",');
text_io.put_line(fp,'"' || :CF_gaptype || '",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
This works great. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Yes. It is already blank. But the cost element field still not appears when we create activity service. It shows :
Please specify a valid account assignment
Message no. SE181
Diagnosis
You have entered an account assignment category in the document item for which an account assignment is mandatory.
All account assignment lines in the service specifications either have been deleted or are inactive (e.g. account assignment lines of a contingency item).
Procedure
Please enter an account assignment for the services or value limits.
The entry of an account assignment is unnecessary if you choose "unknown account assignment" in the document item.

How can I replace the Special Character '

Hi Guru ,
I want replace one Special Chareacter into space .
Example -
There have one variable .
L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
I want to delete the special character ( ' ) which is between A and L .
Whenever I am tryiny to use replcae statement , it will show one Error Message .
REPLACE ''' IN L_VAR WITH ' '.
IT WILL GIVE ONE ERROR MESSAGE - " Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted."
How Can I replace this .

Hi Tarak Dey,
This error
Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted
is not for the Replace statement. You would have missed a PERIOD in some statement before this.
When we see the code that you have pasted,
L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
here period is missing at the end of the line. The error could be because of that.
Kindly check.
Best Regards,
Ram.
