Regarding scripts in Adobe Form

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am working on creating a Search help on Adobe Offline Forms, If anyone of you can just provide me some inputs on how to convert a string like

a* to a%

a** to a%

What i actually want is to convert any consecutive number of "*" to "%".

Please provide your inputs on this..

Thanks,

Hi Amita,

Try this in FormCalc,

Replace(s1, s2 [, s3 ] ) - Replaces all occurrences of one string with another within a specified string.

 
String.replace(s1, s2)

Thanks.

Hi Amita,

If you are performing the code change in Adobe Form then use the following code in the respective event:

( Reference: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_replace.asp )

var str="Welcome to SAP";
str.replace(/SAP/g, "SAP IFbA"); //here "g" is used for Global Search; for more information please refer the link

If you are performing the code change in ABAP then follow the below and build your logic:

( Reference: F1 Help in ABAP Workbench for keyword REPLACE )

DATA: text1 TYPE string, 
      text2(18) TYPE c, 
      cnt TYPE i, 
      off TYPE i, 
      len TYPE i. 

text1 = text2 = 'I know you know'. 

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'know' IN: 
        text1 WITH 'should know that' 
              REPLACEMENT COUNT  cnt 
              REPLACEMENT OFFSET off 
              REPLACEMENT LENGTH len, 
        text2 WITH 'should know that' 
              REPLACEMENT COUNT  cnt 
              REPLACEMENT OFFSET off 
              REPLACEMENT LENGTH len.
