Extra braket add

[jck_drmjn]

When user will type "123", field will show "(123)"

When user will type "ABC", field will show "(ABC)"

What is the code for it?

Hi,

You don't need any script. You can achieve this by editting the display pattern. Select the object and click Patterns in the Object > Field palette.

For example for a numeric field you can inset the brackets with single quotation marks:

num{'('zzzz9')'}

Same approach with text display patterns.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Nice work!

I have set num(). It works well for 123 but when I type "123-123", I have not seen hypen.

What should I do?

Hi,

You really need to have a look at this Adobe guide for picture clauses (eg patterns):

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/picture_clause_2.0.pdf

If you want a hyphen, then you need to build it into the display pattern inside of single quotation marks.

num{'('999'-'999')'} will display (123-456).

Hope that helps,

Niall
