Convert Text from Text Field

For compatability purposes with other forms, I have a text field that numeric data is entered into. I would however like to perform a calculation off of this field, so would therefore like to convert the number entered into this field into a numeric value rather than a text value. Can anyone explain to me how this is done?
Thank you in advance!

Depending on the type of number you want you would use parseInt or parseFloat in Javascript. So when addressing your field in the calculation (assuming it is called TextField1)
var myResult = parseFloat(TextField1.rawValue) + 123.45
Make sense?

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

Copy text from multiple fields to one field

I would like to copy text from multiple fields into one field. Each of these smaller fields will only be allowed to have one character. The larger field will not be able to be edited.
So far, I have thought of creating a naming heirarchy for these fields. I was going to then call upon the array of the parent and set the value of the parent to equal this array.
var parent = this.getField("everything");
var array = everything.getArray();
var v;
for(parent=0; parent<array.length; parent++)
v = a + " " + v; //Im guessing this line is incorrect
parent.value = a;
Any suggestions? or a better way of doing this.
Thanks

The code sample you provided is using AcroForm scripting and will not work in this form. There is another post similar to this one...have a look at this one it might help you out. It is doing the opposite of what you want but the concept of the loop and how each field is addressed inside ofthe loop is what you wil need.

Problem in reading the modified text from text editor

Hi all,
Im using text editor for saving the long text entered in the text editor as standard text in So10 tcode.
Here im facing an issue in reading the text from text editor. That is, when the text is entered by the user for first time, then the below method reads the text successfully.   But when i do some changes in the existing text present in the text editor and try to read, then the modified text is not returned by the below method.
I use the "CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream" to read the text. Given below is my code.
CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream
   IMPORTING
      text                   = ig_text_table
      is_modified            = g_xthead_updkz

      error_cntl_call_method = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.
The return value of "is_modified" is always returned as 0.
Could anyone pls help how to read the modified text using the above method?

Check if this works and if it works then there should be some mistake in your coding

How to transfer texts from text control to table and vice versa

Hi
if anybody can give me link or any code giving how to transfer text from text control to table and vice versa, that will be of great help to me
THanks in advance

Rashmi,
Use the methods GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE / SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and then you will have to use the SAVE_TEXT to store in the database.
The GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE method will give you back a internal in which text, in which text on the screen is existing. Similarly once you fetch the data from database using READ_TEXT, use the method SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE to put the text on the screen.
These methods belong to class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT class.

How can I have text from multiple fields on one layer, copy to one field on another layer?

A little help please as it's been years since I've done any coding of any sort.
So I have a 4 page document with various field types. I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" that works perfectly and a few other scripts as well.
So what I'm trying to do is find a work around for the following:
I have 3 fields - SURNAME, FIRSTNAME & dob.
And I want what is typed into these fields to populate into 1 field. And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it's not exactly possible. At least I think that's what it says.
However I'm hoping that maybe I could have a Submit button at the end of that document that when clicked would copy the text from those 3 fields (that I would have on 1 layer) into 1 field on a 2nd layer. Is that even possible??
I'd also like to have the document Print, Save (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the file name), Email (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the subject line) and Export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.
I don't want much do I?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional. And I'm going to want the form to run in Acrobat Reader X.
So far I have for the 3 fields into 1 on another layer:
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
event.value=this.getField("SURNAME"+"-"+"FIRSTNAME"+"-"+"dob").valueAsString;
But I have no idea how to call the event.value from 1 layer to another or if any of that code above would even work at all.
I have a script that I believe will work perfectly for the Save and Email function:
Using the “doc.submitForm()” function
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
// Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
if(cBenAddr != "") cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
            cURL: cEmailURL,
            cSubmitAs:"XML",
            cCharSet:"utf-8"
I'll work out the Export to Excel thing later as I've seen many tutorials on that. But can I do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?
Please Help!!!

Sorry Gilad. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves (too much) but as I said it's been a while since I did any formal code. And I'm trying to do this code for a work document but I'm doing it in amongst so many other things I do for my job that it's difficult to get the time to concentrate for longer than 5 mins.
I didn't get a chance to try that code until just now. I guess I asked again as I thought (from what I'd read) that it wouldn't be that simple.
So I've added that code and I get no errors. But it doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I've added the code like this in the Custom calculation script of a separate field I've called FileName. And on the Button i'm using I've added: buttonClick()
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
          event.value=this.getField("SURNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;
So now I'm guessing that becasue i'm not getting an error or a result that I've screwed it up still. Have I put the code in the correct area? Have I assigned a the buttonClick() function correctly?

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

PROBLEM IN CREATING BOM ITEM TEXT FROM TEXT FILE

Hi All,
I am developing interface program for creating BOM based on data it text file. in my text file contain three column(material, qty and longtext). These text i need to upload to BOM TCODE CS01). Using SAVE_TEXT I have generated text object. it don't says any error. But while viewing text in CS03, text is not visible. Give me suggestion or give me any other method for updating item text from textfile.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Peranandam.

Hi Carl,
Actually problem is SAVE_TEXT updates text but I cant able to view in CSO3 transaction. because while creating BOM I forget for updating language key for long text. After updating language key I can able to view text in CS03.
Now I am facing another problem. If I am executing program directly without going to debug mode, It is not updates text. Logic everything is correct. Give me some suggestions for solving this issue. I am also tried with commit work, Commit_text and wait up n seconds statement.

Convert CustomAttribute from Text to Date - setup 2 date range filters

Background: We have setup an Active Directory OU called Quarantine to temporarily store user accounts that have just been terminated before terminating their office 365 mailboxes licenses, legal holds and archives. My director wants me to search that
OU for all users with data in a CustomAttribute field (text format) that we are populating with a termination date (looks like a date but the default format of the field is text). Once I get all users who have info in that field, I have to convert it
to date format and then for those users who are terminated 90 days ago or more I have to process a script to disable legal hold. For those users who are 89 days or less I do NOT disable the legal hold.
This has proven more difficult than I thought. I'm not sure I'm converting the text field properly and I'm also not sure how to differentiate between the two filters. I have one example of a script below that tries to convert the date (unsuccessfully) but
it does not try two different filters because I'm not sure how to set those up (I know how to get 90days plus...I think...but I can't figure out how to get results for those that are 89 days or less):
Script 1
$RelayMailServer = "relay.domain.com"
$FromAddress = "[email protected]"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList [email protected],$password
$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$importresults = Import-PSSession $s
$adusers = get-aduser -filter * -searchbase 'ou=quarantine,dc=domain,dc=com' | select userprincipalname

$results += get-mailbox $user.userprincipalname -resultsize unlimited | ?{$_.customattribute7 -ne ""} |`

$convertible = [DateTime]::TryParseExact(
$Date,

If (!$results) { Write-Host "variable is null" }
If ($results){$file = "c:\Office365\TermedUsersCA7.csv"}
If ($results){$results | Export-csv $file -NoTypeInformation}
If ($results) {import-csv c:\Office365\TermedUsersCA7.csv}
Foreach ($result in $results) {
$qdate += $result.customattribute7 -gt (get-date).AddDays(-90)
#$qdate1 = get-date customattribute7.adddays(+90)
#$qdate2= echo date{'yyyy-mm-dd', $qdate1. ' + 90 days'}
Get-Mailbox -identity $_.userprincipalname -filter {CustomAttribute7 -gt $qdate}| `
select userprincipalname, customattribute7 | export-csv "C:\office365\q90users.csv"
Remove-PSSession $s

Yeah I figured that out right after I ran it and fixed it...thank you
It's working now but I adjusted the script a bit by having it omit those with no value in that attribute:

quarantine,dc=31gifts,dc=corp'|?{$_.extensionAttribute7

Check box to copy text from 1 field to another

I am trying to use a check box to copy the tech from a billing address text box to a shipping address text box only if the check box is checked.
I am new to using java and building forms in acrobat so please understand.
I have googled and tried to implement the following script in the shipping address Text field properties under format. but it doesn't work
if (this.getfield('checkbox').value =='Yes'){SHIP_TO.value = Bill_To.value} else {Ship_To.value =""}
thank you for any assistance

Well you cannot use Java within a PDF form. PDF forms use JavaScript which is very different form Java.
Have you opened the JavaScript console for the form and looked to see if there are any errors?
You syntax for the "if' statement is wrong.
The method for obtaining a field object is 'getField" not "getfield".
Field names should be within quotations marks to indicate the item is a text string and not a variable name.
Any time one needs to access a property of a field, like "value", one needs to use the field object for the named field and not the name of the field.
this.getField("Ship_To").value = ""
if (this.getField('checkbox').value == 'Yes') {
this.getField("SHIP_TO").value = this.getField("Bill_To").value

Convert timestamp from text file (hh:mm:ss) into seconds

How can I import a column of time stamps from a text file of the form hh:mm:ss and convert it into seconds using LabView? For example, 13:30:30 into 48630.
Also, using the "Read from Spreadsheet File VI" I can't seem to get the entire time stamp imported correctly. Only the value before the colon is read. For example, if the timestamp reads 13:30:30, only 13 is inputed into the array in LabView.
FYI I'm using LabView 7. Thanks!

Here's a LV 7 example. Just a Scan From String, a couple of Multiply functions and add the results. As far as your Read From Spreadsheet issue, by default, the function creates an array of SGLs. 13:30:30 is text and the functions needs to be modified to return an array of strings. There are instructions on the diagram on how to do this. When you've made the changes, save it as a new name and in a new location.

Thanks everyone! I'm using Oracle 11.1.0.7.0
It seems to work as long as the Text Contents of CommentBody tag is one word without spaces. If there are spaces in between the tags it errors out. Here's the SQL:
SELECT extractvalue( xmltype('<root>'||t.comments||'</root>'),
'root/CommentBody[1]' ) as "CommentBody"
FROM AP_VCHR_AW t
When COMMENTS contains this data it errors out:
<CommentHeader> <CommentDate>2010-03-04-17.52.53.000000

<CommentHeader> <CommentDate>2010-03-04-17.52.53.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>This is an approved vuocher</CommentBody>
When COMMENTS contains this data the SQL succeeds:
<CommentHeader>at <CommentDate>2010-01-21-15.16.48.000000

How to return text from Text Field?

I'm an experienced VB programmer, but new to Dreamweaver, and
web programming. I need to put the text just entered by the user in
a form text field into a field farther down in the form- like when
your mailing address automatically populates into a shipping
address field. How to do?
Thanks
Bill Spencer

HI,
If i understand for you purpose you need to use a select list with redirect.
Then you have to put in the text field the code for displaying the corrisponding cities related to the code you choosed from the select list.
However that depends a lot about data and your app itself: If i understand you assume the postalcode is unique for a given city?
hope it helps

Add Text From Multiple Fields Into One

I'm creating a form in Acrobat 9 that lets you fill in information for four cars. For each of the four cars, there is a text box for Manufacturer, Model, and Year. I have the boxes labeled Manuf1, Mod1, Year1, Manuf2, Mod2, etc.
Then I two other text boxes called Text1 and Text2. In Text1 I want all the manufacturers listed together( example: Ford, Chevy, BMW) and the same thing for the models in Text2. What would be even better would be if in Text1 and Text2 the names could be seperated with "or".
Is there a javascript that can do this and not repeat a name (if, for example, the first two cars were both Ford, the third was BMW and the fourth was Chevy, I want Text1 to display: Ford or BMW or Chevy, not: Ford or Ford or BMW or Chevy)?
Thank you for the help!

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know
