Combine multiple field entries into one field with "-" separations

Question

I have three specific fields in a PDF form that I would like to combine into a single field (that is then used for filenaming later on). Currently I have the three field appearing as a string of numbers, but I would like a "-" (dash) between each field (so the filename is easier to decode). Currently I have the following:Run custom validation script:event.value = event.value.replace(/\D/g, ""); Custom calculation script:var s = this.getField("exchange_date").valueAsString + this.getField("part_origin").valueAsString + this.getField("kr_art_nr").valueAsString;

event.value = s.replace(/^, |, $/g, ""); but with this it correctly removes the '/" from between the yyyy/mm/dd to present it correctly as yyyymmdd, but I would like everything to appear as follows: exchange_date-part_origin-kr_art_nr20240529-123456-987654 Been battling this for a few hours and cannot seem to find the trick to make this work! Much appreciate your help.

Remove the validation script and use this for the calculation:

var s1 = this.getField("exchange_date").valueAsString.replace(/\D/g, "");
var s2 = this.getField("part_origin").valueAsString.replace(/\D/g, "");
var s3 = this.getField("kr_art_nr").valueAsString.replace(/\D/g, "");

event.value = s1 + "-" + s2 + "-" + s3;
