Hi all,

I'm trying to use the pattern feature of livecycle to help my users with entering in GPS coordinates.

I would like them to only have to enter numbers and decimals and have the N, W, ° and ' appear automatically. I have had success getting the first three to appear, but can't figure out how to include the single quotation for a minute mark since you have to use single quotations to specify the stuff you want to appear ('N', 'W', '°', etc.)

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the ' to appear automatically?

What I have right now is  text{OO' 'OO.OOOX' 'OOO' 'OO.OOOX} for the edit, validation, and data pattern fields

AND

text{'N'OO'° 'OO.OOOX'      W'OOO'° 'OO.OOOX} for the display pattern field

You will notice that the user currently has to enter the single quotation. It works fine, but I am trying to make it a quicker entry by dropping the ' as an entry requirement. Ideas?
