Hello, my question is how to check one string in one field for example:
if in fill_20 the string is "Sofia" or SOFIA or sOfia or all combinations with lowercase letters and uppercase letters and so..
If fill_20 is with content=Sofia and all combination with lowercase and uppercase letters then in fill_30 write value 100 if the string is different than Sofia then in fill_30 write 80?

You don't need all three if clauses. Finally you only need one of them.

Ieeeeeee!

It's work!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

var testString = this.getField("fill_6").valueAsString;

if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")

if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")

if ( testString.match(/софия/i) != null )

{

event.value = 100;

}

else

{

event.value = 80;

}

Your conditions are redundant. If the first condition is true then the other two will be true by definition. They are not needed.

Thank you but how can I implement it with all combinations of София with upper and lower case and space.
If София is in fill_20 then in fill 30 write 100 else write 80 .

Use something like this:

if ( testString.trim().toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")

Note that the trim method is not supported in versions of Acrobat prior to DC. It's better to define your own function, just in case.

Here everything is work:

var testString= "СоФиЯ"; //small and capital letters
if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")
{
alert("UpperCase works")
}
else
{
alert("UpperCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")
{
alert("LowerCase works")
}
else
{
alert("LowerCase doesn't work")
}

The result is UpperCase works and LowerCase works.

Here :

var testString= "СоФиЯ "; // small and capital letters + one space
if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")
{
alert("UpperCase works")
}
else
{
alert("UpperCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")
{
alert("LowerCase works")
}
else
{
alert("LowerCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.match(/софия/i) != null )
{
alert("Regex works")
}
else
{
alert("Regex doesn't work")
}

The result is UpperCase doesn't work, LowerCase doesn't work and Regex works!

Regex also works for:

var testString= "СоФиЯ abc";

What does it say in the console, exactly, please?

As Test Screen Name said:

The code of BarlaeDC has a typo in line #1

var testString = this.getFIeld("fill_6").valueAsString;

should be

var testString = this.getField("fill_6").valueAsString;

Furthermore:

Cyrillic characters shouldn't make any difference.

Try this code in ESTK (not in Acrobat)

var testString= "СоФиЯ";  //small and capital letters
if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")
{
alert("UpperCase works")
}
else
{
alert("UpperCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")
{
alert("LowerCase works")
}
else
{
alert("LowerCase doesn't work")
}

Are you sure that there is no space after ?

Here is another test (also for ESTK)

var testString= "СоФиЯ "; // small and capital letters + one space
if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")
{
alert("UpperCase works")
}
else
{
alert("UpperCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")
{
alert("LowerCase works")
}
else
{
alert("LowerCase doesn't work")
}
if ( testString.match(/софия/i) != null )
{
alert("Regex works")
}
else
{
alert("Regex doesn't work")
}

var testString = this.getFIeld("fill_6").valueAsString;

if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "София")

{

event.value = 100;

}

else

{

event.value = 80;

}

Doesnt work.

Try

if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")

or

if ( testString.toLowerCase() == "софия")

var testString = this.getFIeld("fill_6").valueAsString;

if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "СОФИЯ")

{

event.value = 100;

}

else

{

event.value = 80;

}

No it doesn't work.

I tried this but nothing is happened.

var testString = this.getFIeld("fill_6").valueAsString;

if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "SOFIA")

{

this.getField("fill_13").value = 100;

}

else

{

this.getField("fill_13").value = 80;

}

If I put SOFIA in fill_6 then write value 100 in fill_13

If in fill_6 the string is not SOFIA then write value 80 in fill_13.

Change:

this.getField("fill_13").value

To:

event.value

And make sure you place the code as the custom calculation script of "fill_13".

Hi,

The easiest way to manage this would be to use toLowerCase() or toUpperCase(), before your comparison, written out in fulll to make it easy to follow it would look something like :

var testString = this.getField("fill_20").valueAsString;
if ( testString.toUpperCase() == "SOFIA")
{
     this.getField("fill_30").value = 100;
}
else
{
     this.getField("fill_30").value = 30;
}

Hope this helps

Malcolm
