Want to be able to look for different text fields in the document and make changes to the text fields that have a certain text in their name.
Document has 50 text fields, but I am looking of the ones that are called HoursRow, followed by a number, so HoursRow1 HoursRow2 (total of 15 HourRow)etc
Is there a way to put in some type of wildcard in results of getting all the text fields. Because I want to be able to change the color and format with the script for ONLY HourRow text fields
This did NOT work
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fname);
// Check if the field value contains "HoursRow"
if (f.type === "text" && /HoursRow/.test(fname.value)) {
// Apply your actions only to fields containing "HoursRow" in their value
f.setAction("Format", "AFNumber_Format(2, 0, 0, 0, \"\", true);");
f.setAction("Keystroke", "AFNumber_Keystroke(2, 0, 0, 0, \"\", true);");
f.fillColor = color.red;
}
}
If I put in code below it changes ALL text fields which I do not want to do
for ( var i=0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fname);
if ( f.type == "text" ) f.setAction("Format", "AFNumber_Format(2, 0, 0, 0, \"\", true);");
f.setAction("Keystroke", "AFNumber_Keystroke(2, 0, 0, 0, \"\", true);");
f.fillColor = color.red; }
On the same line, is it possible to change range of text field name, same example
HoursRow1 HoursRow2 etc to only Hours1 Hours2 etc
Thanks

Change this part: fname.value to f.name
You can't change field names with a script, you can only use a script to remove old fields and create new fields in their place with new names.
