hi subieguy2 this answer work for 1 field...

i have 5 text fields and i want to restart this loop for every new field... for now on text field 1 work but when i go to text field 2 not work because check has value 1.

Ok so if you want the loop to run more times then change the length like this....

var check = 0;  
  
if (check < 4){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
check++;  
}

Or depending on how and where you are running this from do like Bernd Alheit said and check multiples like this...

var checkFieldOne = 0;  
var checkFieldTwo = 0;
var checkFieldThree = 0;
var checkFieldFour = 0;
var checkFieldFive = 0;
  
if (checkFieldOne == 0){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
checkFieldOne++;  
}
if (checkFieldTwo == 0){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
checkFieldTwo++;  
}
if (checkFieldThree == 0){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
checkFieldThree++;  
}
if (checkFieldFour == 0){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
checkFieldFour++;  
}
if (checkFieldFive == 0){  
event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");  
checkFieldFive++;  
}

If this doesn't get you what you are looking for I would suggest posting more details about your document and how you want it to be used. Or better yet share a file and we can help try to get your questions answered.
