Adobe acrobat Form cannot capture "0" while using split() command

Question

Hi,I am trying to split a number (with 2 decimalsplace ) and separate them in before decimal and after decimal.Example:  .  Text1 :  I have number say  25.68  ,  now i want it to split into two fields so,Text2 :  it should show 25 Text3 : it should show 68   ,everything is working fine.. until when the number after decimal is 00   then it doesnot show correct value; below is my scriptfor Text2 calculation script :var mins = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;event.value = mins.split(".")[0] for Text3var mins = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;event.value = mins.split(".")[1] is there any other method to split the number where when the number has 00 in its decimal capture the 0 in Text3 .

I would recommend against using this kind of construction:

var split = mins.toString().split(".")[1];

You're making an assumption there that there is a period in the string. If there isn't, your script will error out.

It's better to do it like this:

var minsParts = mins.toString().split(".");
if (minsParts.length==2) {
// there's one period in the string, handle as usual
} else {
// there's more than one period in the string, or none at all, handle as needed
}

ok.. thanks NesaNurani and try67 ...

script is working now... as required .. below is the script i used:

var mins = Number(this.getField("Text1").value);

var minsParts = mins.toString().split(".");

if (minsParts.length==2) {
minsParts[1];}
else {event.value =event.value = "00" ;}
