Adobe acrobat Form cannot capture "0" while using split() command

[rakeshk21205956]

Hi,

I am trying to split a number (with 2 decimalsplace ) and separate them in before decimal and after decimal.

Example:  

.  Text1 :  I have number say  25.68  ,  now i want it to split into two fields so,

Text2 :  it should show 25 

Text3 : it should show 68   ,

everything is working fine.. until when the number after decimal is 00   then it doesnot show correct value;

below is my script

for Text2 calculation script :

var mins = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;

event.value = mins.split(".")[0]

for Text3

var mins = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;

event.value = mins.split(".")[1]

is there any other method to split the number where when the number has 00 in its decimal capture the 0 in Text3 .

What format does you use for field "Text3" ?

[rakeshk21205956]

no formatting for Text3

[Bernd Alheit]

It works for me:

Yes, it works for manually.. but doesnot work when the value is calculated  and then it has 00 in its decimal place

[Bernd Alheit]

What calculation does you use?

[rakeshk21205956]

Any other way method to capture the 00 after decimal when the field is automatic calculated

[try67]

That's because the ".00" is added by the Number Format script. It's not an actual part of the field's value.

You should first check if the value contains a ".". If so, split by it and proceed like before. If not, treat the whole value as you do the mins in Text2.

[rakeshk21205956]

there is no formatting done in Text1 .   06.00 is entered manually   Format tab is set to none

[Bernd Alheit]

Does you enter the value or does you use a calculation?

[rakeshk21205956]

will be using both.. according to requirement.

Also plz see this post of mine :

At Text 3 add  a message output:

var mins = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;
console.show();
console.println(mins);
event.value = mins.split(".")[1];

[rakeshk21205956]

Doesnot work 

console shows following error

InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.
Event.value:4:Field Text3:Calculate
2

[Bernd Alheit]

What value have you in Text1?

[rakeshk21205956]

Text1 is calculation field     . It' value has formulae   event.value = otherfield/60;

[Bernd Alheit]

What can you see in Text1?

[rakeshk21205956]

the result of the formulae  for ex   4800/60 = 80.00;   or 90/60 = 1.50 

[Bernd Alheit]

You see 80.00 or 1.50 in the field?

Post a screenshot.

You will get the error message when there is no point or no character after the point.

Just make sure field calculation order is like this:

and it should work fine.

[Nesa Nurani]

Sorry about my first post I thought you are just having troubles to make it work.

Anyway, you can try this workaround:

If result is whole number field "text3" will show 00 else it will split decimals normaly.

var mins = Number(this.getField("Text1").value);
var split = mins.toString().split(".")[1];
var int = Number.isInteger(mins);
if(int == true){
event.value = "00";}
else if(int == false){
event.value = split;}

It works for calculations so you don't need to enter value manually.

Hope that can help you 🙂

I would recommend against using this kind of construction:

var split = mins.toString().split(".")[1];

You're making an assumption there that there is a period in the string. If there isn't, your script will error out.

It's better to do it like this:

var minsParts = mins.toString().split(".");
if (minsParts.length==2) {
// there's one period in the string, handle as usual
} else {
// there's more than one period in the string, or none at all, handle as needed
}

ok.. thanks NesaNurani and try67   ...

script is working now... as required .. below is the script i used:

var mins = Number(this.getField("Text1").value);

var minsParts = mins.toString().split(".");

if (minsParts.length==2) {
minsParts[1];}
else {event.value =event.value = "00"  ;}
