Using FormCalc to automatically replace text in a text field?

[Former Community Member]

Hi,



I'm trying to use FormCalc to automatically look for a string and replace it in a text field. I'm trying to do this by setting the script of the "Change" event in the text field to this:



$=Replace($, "address__", "123 Fake Street\u000aAnycity, NT 12345")



So thus, when a user types "address__" into the text field, it replaces the string "address__" with the actual address. I would create one line of code for each different address that I wanted to use.



What am I doing wrong, syntax-wise? I don't get any script errors, it just doesn't do anything.



I know very little about using FormCalc - are there any good tutorials out there on the internet? Most LiveCycle Designer documentation seems to be geared towards JavaScript users, but FormCalc seems fine for my needs.



Thanks.

Script works good if you can use in 'exit' event. Also it is good to use $.rawValue = Replace($.rawValue, "address__", "123 Fake Street\u000aAnycity, NT 12345")



Good Luck,
