When typing in a number, how can I automatically have it insert a / (slash)?

I've been trying to figure out how to automatcially insert a forward slash (/) after I have entered a 6-digit number.  I'd like to have the slash inserted after the 3 number from the left?   For example; if after entering 123456 the expected outcome would be 123/456.  Any help would be great appreciated. I'd like to give away some points if anyone has the correct answer!!!   

Thanks for the quick reply.  Basically, what I need is to be able to enter a fixed 6-digit number between 0-9 and then a slash would automatically be inserted.  It would only be numerical and no letters or special characters.  To quickly fill you in on what I"m trying to attain, I have created a form with text fields and on one of the fields there is one called, "work location".  Here the room and cubicle location would be entered.  Each other these locations is designated a 3-digit.  For example:  123 would be the room number and the 456 would be the 3-digit cubicle location. So, instead of enter the first three numbers than manually entering the rest of the numbers, I'd like to see if it's possible to just enter the 6 numbers instead than the forward slash would be inserted in its proper place.  I hope I didn't confuse you.  Once again any advice (or maybe a sample script) would be incredibly helpful,

  • How can I automatically have a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

    The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?
    Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

    My trackball has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Each of the 4 buttons is programmable. The 4 buttons are normally pre-programmed for single-click, double-click, drag and right-click by simply pressing on them
    Each of the 4 buttons may be programmed to also have other functions. For example, I programmed "control/single-click" to produce a middle click. I could also have used "shift/single-click" or "alt/single-click" to produce the middle-click. Or I could have similarly programmed double-click or drag or right-click. The Kensington Expert Mouse is quite versatile ... once you get the hang of programming it.
    I have had it for about 4 years and I had never had the need to program one of them until you told me about using a middle-click.

  • How can I automatically have the XRAID turn on and off at a specific time?

    I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to turn on and off the XRAID at a specific time. My electrical bills are crazy. Is there a way to get this done?

    I think turning the RAID on and off periodically is a bad idea. But if you really really really want to do this ....
    Connect the xserve raid to a 'metered power strip such as those provide by APC. you can telnet to the power strip via the network to power off individual port)
    write a script (run on the xserve or powermac that the RAID is connected to (direct or via switch)
    0) quit application (issue a quit command or if the application have a stop command (example databse can be stopped)
    1) unmount volume (must)
    2) issue a telnet command via expect script to control the power strip to power off the array.
    If you have java cli access to the array (see alienraid.org).(I have not tried this before.)
    http://alienraid.org/article.php?story=xserveraidtools12&query=command
    You can issue a command to execute the RAID admin shutdown command.
    Put the master script into a unix cron job.

  • How can I Automate a Logo insert

    Ok, I know how to automate the insert of a logo,  and do a batch of photos. My problem is I have thousands of photos that  i want to add my logo to, but the photos are of different sizes, so what happens when i run this action, it  will move the logo to the position I need it, but the size of the logo does not  correspond to the size of the photo, sometimes the logo might be to large or maybe to  small. Does anyone know how to make the logo resize itself to fit  properly into the photo during a batch operation?
    I am using CS2

    This video might put you on the right track.
    I'm not sure about the sizing bit though.

  • How can I automatically have my iWeb photo albums updated?

    Thanks in advance...
    I have several iPhoto albums that I've published on my iWeb site. However, I can't seem to figure out if it is possible to have the albums on the iWeb site be automatically updated when I add or delete photos from the corresponding iPhoto album?
    Is this possible to do?
    Dick

    Going along with what Alancito suggested you can then embed an iPhoto MMe gallery into a Web page as shown in this demo page:MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies. I've linked to the mosaic mode of the gallery but you can use any of the modes you'd like.
    Then any changes in iPhoto to the gallery will be reflected automatically in your iWeb page. This method also lets you isolate the gallery from the your other MMe galleries if you'd like.

  • Once signed, how can I automatically have an email client open with the document attached?

    I have seen other forms simply open the email client once the user has signed the form, but I am unable to figure out how to do this :/
    Thanks,

    If you set up a digital signature field, you can attach a script (e.g., doc.submitForm, doc.mailDoc) to the "Signed" event.

  • How can I automatically have incoming mail be categorized in subfolders in incoming mail?

    How do I train incoming emails to automatically be placed in certain created incoming mail subcategories such as advertisements, work and family? In Outloook I can create message rules for certain emails from certain senders.

    Thunderbird calls them message filters. Otherwise, the concepts are pretty much the same.

  • I just can't type plus when typing the phone number. Does anyone has this kind of a problem?

    I just can't type plus when typing the phone number. 0 appears before the plus and it cannot be deleted.
    I know few people who faced this situation.
    Strange bug! How could it be unnoticed?

    Hey Apple QA guys come on, fix that terribly annoying bug, please!
    Env:
    IOS 7+ (including freshiest 7.1 beta 3), all devices.
    How to reproduce:
    Open dialer app
    Press and long hold "0" button
    Expected:
    On the finger down "0" digit appears in phone number line, after the long hold "0" dissapears and "+" appears in place.
    Actual:
    After the long hold "0" does not dissapears and "+" is added below. It makes international number dialing unavailable.
    Workaround:
    Quickly press backspace after the finger down to delete "0" before plus appears.

  • 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.

  • How can I get Siri to insert a pause (,) when voice-dialing a number?

    I join a lot of conference calls with my iPhone.  The conference bridges have phone numbers that follow this pattern:
    (123) 456-7890,1234567#
    How can I get Siri to insert the pause (,) character, and the pound (hash) sign, into the phone number when voice-dialing?
    When I say "pause" Siri inserts the word "pause" as a literal string: 
         Example: (123) 456-7890 pause 1234567
    When I say "comma" Siri will insert a comma (,) into the dial string, but the Phone app ignores everything after the comma and does not dial it:
         Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567   results in only this being dialed:  (123) 456-7890
    When I say "pound" or "hash" Siri inserts the words "pound" or "hash" as literal strings:
         Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567 pound     instead of (123) 456-7890,1234567#

    If it is your own conference bridge you can create a new contact named "My Bridge" and enter your 1800 number along with a "wait" command and pass code and #.  It would look something like this 1-800-555-5555;12345678#.  This way when you tell Siri to call "My Bridge" she'll dial and then you'll notice an option in the lower left to dial the pass code.  Press that and you're all set. You can do the same for frequent conference bridges you connect to.  Hope this helps.

    If you mean activating it as far as using it on your phone plan, then you're going to have to go to your cell provider and have them do that for you and add the device to your current plan. Otherwise without activating it, the most your iPhone will be, is a thick iPod. Of course with wifi, you could still send iMessages, but that's the extent without adding it to a cell plan.

  • How can I automate the multi-step process of looking up a caller's contact details when a telephone call comes in with caller ID?

    How can I automate the multi-step process of looking up a caller's contact details when a telephone call comes in with caller ID. I want to be able to see more than just the first & last name when a client calls me. I would like the caller ID to pull up the same information that shows up when you search for and find a contact name and then click on the right arrow.
    My workaround is to force/enter both the last name and the address in the last name field since then the address will show up.
    The only computerized way to look up this additional information is to put the client on hold, memorize the first and last name and correctly enter it in the search field of the contact database and hopefully find it before the client gets tired of waiting.
    Note that I go to about 48 small jobs per week. So far I have about 9,000 contacts. It's easy to make a mistake and have the client wondering what I'm doing and what's taking so long.
    The second workaround is to use paper and pencil and ask the client for name, address, cross street and phone number again, repeating what I did some time previously.
    Please help meautomate this process.

    You don't have to put anyone on hold. When the call comes in, tap the Home button, then tap contacts, go to the contact. Tap Home button when finished, tap the top banner to return to the call screen.
