Is there a way to do an "Or" in the Edit Pattern?

For example, the social security number field. I want to be able to do numeric{999-99-9999}|numeric{999999999} in the Numberi Field type. Is this possible? Or do I have to change the type to Field Text?

You'll definately need to use a text field to display any non-numeric characters.
I'd use a validation script on the field that uses regular expressions. You can check an online JavaScript tutorial to see how to use regular expressions. Ending a validation script with a false; will make it fail validation, true; will make it pass, and you can customize the error message to display to the user whatever you want.

  • I'm using TestStand/Labview to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a variable in the edit string value test?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

    I'm using TestStand 2.0/Labview 6i to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a string variable in the edit string value test instead of an actual string?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

    Hi ART,
    You can also use the LimitLoader step to load your string into to step similar to the Numeric Step type.
    There should be an example of this in the Resource Library | TestStand

  • Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to?   My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

    Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to?  I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist.  I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question.  Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

  • Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
    or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

  • Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

    I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right.  Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

    Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one.  And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle.  The margins are as follows:
    But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

    You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

    Is there a way to deleter multiple pictures at the same time, from my iphone4s? I know how to delete one at a time. Thanks

    Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.

  • I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD but it is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are. Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store?

    I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD, a Kpop group. It is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are.
    Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store? (The album is called The Boys)

    Well how much does the album cost? Because I have an issue with this except I live in America and I wish to purchase something from the Australian store... perhaps I can gift you your album and you could gift me my album.

  • Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

    Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
    I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

  • Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

    Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
    Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
    But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
    So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

    This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
    I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.
