Acrobat script which recognizes how to differentiate a gender from an alphanumeric number

Hi,

Are the first letters typed manually?

If so you can use a custom keystroke script which allows to type 3 or 4 letters:

if(!event.willCommit) {
	var aTester=event.value.split("");
	aTester.splice(event.selStart, event.selEnd-event.selStart, event.change);
	var testeChaine=aTester.join("");
	var modeleRegEx=/^((\w{0,3}|\w{0,4})\d{0,2}(((0|5)[1-9]?|(1|6)[0-2]?)(((0)[1-9]?|(1|2)[0-9]?|(3)[0-1]?)\d{0,2})?)?)?$/;
	event.rc=modeleRegEx.test(testeChaine);
} else {
	var modeleRegEx1=/^\w{3}\d{8}$/;
	if (modeleRegEx1.test(event.value)) nbChar=3;
	else nbChar=4;
	var modeleRegEx2=/^\w{4}\d{8}$/;
	event.rc=event.value=="" || modeleRegEx1.test(event.value) || modeleRegEx2.test(event.value);
}

Then a calculation script for the dob field:

var ID=this.getField("ID").valueAsString;
if (nbChar==3) var idRegEx=/^\w{3}\d{8}$/;
else var idRegEx=/^\w{4}\d{8}$/;
if (idRegEx.test(ID)) {
	var theYear=ID.substr(nbChar,2);
	var theMonth=ID.substr((nbChar+2),2);
	if (Number(theMonth)>12) {
		theMonth=Number(theMonth)-50;
		if (theMonth<10) var theMonth="0"+theMonth;
		this.getField("gender").value="Female";
	} else {
		this.getField("gender").value="Male";
	}
	var theDay=ID.substr((nbChar+4),2);
	var dobObj=util.scand("yymmdd", theYear+theMonth+theDay);
	event.value=util.printd("yyyy/mm/dd", dobObj)
} else {
	event.value="";
}
