Ok so if you want the loop to run more times then change the length like this....

var check = 0; 

 

if (check < 4){ 

event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234"); 

check++; 

}

Or depending on how and where you are running this from do like Bernd Alheit​ said and check multiples like this...

var checkFieldOne = 0; 

var checkFieldTwo = 0;

var checkFieldThree = 0;

var checkFieldFour = 0;

var checkFieldFive = 0;

 

if (checkFieldOne == 0){ 

event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234"); 

chec

It's not possible within that code itself. You will need to keep some kind of external marker for when it should (or shouldn't) replace that string.

Not sure if this will help you but.... maybe something like this??...

I guess it depends on where/how you run your script.

var check = 0;

if (check == 0){

event.value = event.value.replace(/\,AbAb/g, "1234");

check++;

}

If this doesn't get you what you are looking for I would suggest posting more details about your document and how you want it to be used. Or better yet share a file and we can help try to get your questions answered.
