Auto populate question, can't find anything on forums

Question

I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is will be worth the question for me to ask...

I would like to auto populate a backslash at the beginning of a number and a period at the end of a number. The problem is I don't know what number the user is going to enter on the text field

For example, if the user types 8091000 then \8091000. will appear on another text field.

Thank you!

I'd like to change the value, but maybe just the way it's shown on the page would be easier?

I am selecting the data on the table that I need to export to excel on the PDF after it's flattened with 'copy with formatting'. I am importing the data from excel into another program which only accepts a number with a backslash and period.

I could add it after I export the data into excel but it would be easier if it populated in the PDF instead.

If you're flattening the file then it doesn't matter.

You can use this code as the field's custom Format script:

if (event.value) event.value = "\\" + event.value + ".";

Edit: I used two back-slashes on purpose. Do not change it to one...

Also, the number entered could be between a 4 digit to a 9 digit number
