Sum up values

Question

Hi, how can I sum up the following values?

[A-H]&[J-U]&[W-Z]

[a-z]

[I,II, III, IV, V, VI, VII]

if (event.value=="A") { event.target.textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="B") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="C") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="D") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="a") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="b") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value=="c") { event.target.textColor = color.red; 
        this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.red;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.red; }
else if (event.value>=0) { event.target.textColor = color.black; 
          this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.black;  
        this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.black;
        this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.black; }
else if (event.value=="I") { event.target.textColor = color.green; 
    this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.green; }
else if (event.value=="II") { event.target.textColor = color.green; 
    this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.green; }
else if (event.value=="III") { event.target.textColor = color.green; 
    this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.green; }
else if (event.value=="IV") { event.target.textColor = color.green; 
    this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.green; }
else if (event.value=="V") { event.target.textColor = color.green; 
    this.getField("Field1").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field2").textColor = color.green;
    this.getField("Field3").textColor = color.green; }
else event.target.textColor = color.blue;

as well I would like to sum up the "get.Field" method. I tried this:

this.getField(["Field1","Field2","Field2"]).textColor = color.red;

but it didn't work

can you please help me?

the options are lower and upper case letters, roman numerals I-VII and numbers

OK, then I would do it like this:

var newTextColor = color.black;
var romanNumerals = ["I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII"];
if (romanNumerals.indexOf(event.value)!=-1) {
    newTextColor = color.green;
} else if (/^\d+$/.test(event.value)) {
    newTextColor = color.blue;
} else if (/^[a-z]+$/i.test(event.value)) {
    newTextColor = color.red;
}
var fields = ["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"];
for (var i in fields) this.getField(fields).textColor = newTextColor;

Are these the only options?
