Below is what I have thus far:

 

var myText = this.getField(Taxonomy").value; var myText = myText.replace(/([a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/g, "$1,"); if (myText != this.getField("YourTextFieldName").value) { this.getField("YourTextFieldName").value = myText; }

 

I have placed this various areas such as action, validation, and calculation.

You want to get digits from field "Taxonomy" and show digits with semicolons in field "YourTextFieldName"?

I want to type in the taxonomy in which has 10 digits, however, if there will be more taxonomy, I want it to be separated by a semi-colon automatically.

Use this as validation script of that field:

var str = event.value.replace(/;/g, '');
var segments = [];

for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i += 10) {
 segments.push(str.substring(i, i + 10));}

var sc = segments.join(';');
if (str.length % 10 === 0 && str.length > 0) {
 sc += ';';}
event.value = sc;

Do you want the semi-colon(s) to be an actual part of the field's value, or just to appear in it?

In other words, if the data of the form is exported, should they be included in the field's value?

added to the field for exportability.
