Change the field values of multiple text searching a word/words in their name.

Hello

So in my document, I load all the text fields roughly the same name than just with slight variations in their name.

For example:

FldTxt

FldTxt1

P1. TemplateName.FldTxt

P1. TemplateName.FldTxt1

... Etc.

The way this works is that each individual text box represents a parameter for a single element, so in this case there are 4 products.

Is the way in which these parameters are selected, the user presses a button that generates a copy of a template page.

On this page are a group of checkboxes, buttons and drop-down lists, these particular text fields display the value of a drop-down list.

This is so that when the user has finished with the generated page, it can be removed and all the information is stored on the main page for later in the process.

Because of how the elements of work means that fields can either displays a 'None selected' or option selected, BUT they cannot stand by the option that was selected.

For example;

FldTxt "none".

FldTxt1 "selected Option2.

P1. TemplateName.FldTxt "selected Option2.

P1. TemplateName.FldTxt 'None Selected '.

I hope this explains the theory behind it.

So I wonder is what I could put these text fields values by searching for a keyword in their name? For example. If the field has "FldTxt" in its name, and its value is not equal to "None Selected", change its value to the value of the drop-down list of the most recent.

The reason why I want to do it in this way is because there is no predefined number of these text fields, there might be only 2 or 200 because it depends on the number of items in the form.

So I imagine it would go something like this;

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    var nameSearch = //search for keywords in a field name
    var dropdown = //the name of the dropdown
    if (f.nameSearch == "FldTxt" && if f.type = "textfield") {
        if (f.value !== "None Selected") {
            f.nameSeach.value = dropdown.value;

My apologies if the syntax is incorrect or even impossible, but I don't know exactly what I'm asking check I just know what would be the outcome.

I know that we can search for words in a document so I wonder if it is possible for domain names

Your code is not quite correct. If I understand this code should do the trick (you may need to adjust the names of fields and values, however):

var nameSearch = "FldTxt";
var dropdown = this.getField("Dropdown").value;
for (var i=0; i

  • How can I change the registry values with a common search for the string and replace the function where I don't do all manually?

    Due to problems of space with my installation of XP Pro, (operating system has been installed on a 4 GB partition and I did have a copy of the OS to do a new installation) I am trying to move a number of files on a mounted drive.

    It is a way to search an entire record of [SPECIFY FOLDER] "C:\Program Files\" instances and replace each with "C:\Program Files\Overflow\ [SPECIFY FOLDER]" as a common discovery replace function?

    Also, I'll have to move several "Common Files" files in the mounted folder 'Overflow '. The method to make learning one should help me to do both. Manually, it will take most of thousand years that all the files in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components
    the files seem to have a key value have changed.

    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled some programs at the desired location, but many still use the "Common files" folder despite my having already changed the default installation directory path in the registry. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    One way:

    1. Start Regedit (start-> Run-> 'Regedit')
    2. Select the branch of the registry, or you are interested in changing.
    3. The export of this branch of the registry (file-> export) in a ".reg" file
    4. Use a programming editor (for example, the freeware Notepad ++) and use the "Find and replace" function to make the changes you want.  Save the modified file.
    5. After making the changes, double-click the .reg file to fold changes in your registry.

    As always, keep a backup of your original registry in case things get really bad and know how to do to restore this backup your machine should not be able to start.

  • Is there a way to allow the end user to change the font color in a text field?

    I didn't know that LiveCycle existed yesterday so I was using the Google a lot.

    I'm building an application form and asked if there was a way to change the font color in a text field. (EXAMPLE: content Original is black.) The notes are in red)

    I have 2 ideas on that, we should type out and highlight, and then click a button to turn red. The other way. I'm more part. Have a radial affecting when turned off, black types. When on, red types. What is the best way to do it or is it still possible?

    Figured it out. Replace 'plain text' 'rich text' and have user support on ctr + e. seems strange to me, but it works.

  • Change the default value for new messages of the 'paragraph' in "text" format the answer currently online because it does not work

    The answer currently online for this problem said to follow the sequence "tools-options-composition" and then change the default value, but this sequence "tools-options-composition" does not exist in Thunderbird (at least in the version I have, 45.4.0). Under 'tools', there is no option 'options... '

    It can depend on what menu you look and which operating system you are using.

    Tools | Options | Composition refers to the menu bar on top old.

    You can use alt or F10 to make the menu appear temporarily. Go to the view of . Toolbars and check the boxes if you want it constantly on the show.

    If you use the button 'Menu of the Application' new fashion (with three horizontal lines - see the attached picture) then it's probably Options | Options | Composition -I say 'probably' because I'm on Linux where 'Options' are replaced, I think that, by "Preferences". Another complication with this infernal Application Menu is that different things happen depending on whether you click or hover. Place the cursor on the Options of the first and the second appears after some time.

  • EasySign: what I can or cannot change the fields to fill?

    Is it just me, or is Acrobat EchoSign a hostile user to the garbage piece? I use reader 10.1.3. This is a form that I would complete and perhaps 'sign' with a TIFF of my signature, but first I have to type in some areas. Arrived at this point took me 20 minutes this morning:

    Acrobat EasySign.jpg

    (Sorry for the fur JPEG;) Forums Adobe informed me passively after that I tried to save three no-anti-aliasing 'content types' that he would only accept JPEG format.)

    If you examine the name under the section 'INFO' field, you will see three blue spots reflecting three multiple selections no region of text boxes in the list to the right. These objects are the result of my patiently left click the i-beam on my name in order to change the text that I entered in each field. Whenever I did, I would like to briefly see a blip appear under the i-beam, but he would not let me change my text. The blip, of course, was a text box of length zero being created. I persisted because at some point given, I swear I saw an arrow icon and it let me do a selection in blue on a parcel of my text, but then for some reason any when I typed nothing happened, then the apparition disappeared and I couldn't repeat it. And it is only after a few minutes, when I started to play with a right click on a text field, I discovered the "list of comments" so needless of me in frustration.

    There are now dozens of these mini boxes everywhere in the sheet (just look at how the "list of comments" has 86 entries instead of the 12 that actually contain text). But it means I can't change something when I finished a text, isn't it? If so, why not? Why is he not clear for me, a sophisticated user? Why the bizarre and unpredictable behavior? Or I'm a sort of silly, not having found the correct incantation? Maybe an Adobe firewing priestly programmers or myriads now will enlighten us all, tacitly suggesting that it's just my stupidity, because they knew the blessed Secret their first time.

    I have fairly exhaustive sought a solution to this and have so far found nothing, but maybe it's because I've budgeted only 45 minutes for this potential simple task. Am I'll have to check out this file in Illustrator, or print it out and post it?

    Twenty years ago, I was probably the first or second person outside mountain view to show the alpha of the carousel. Since that time - and despite having occupied hope repeatedly - I still can't easily fill a document online without heartache. Why can't I edit a field? What I have to do when I want to edit a multi-line field? My workaround over the years have range from every possible thing you can imagine, the scan in Photoshop or Illustrator, Quark or InDesign; in the fields of the blind and double-exposures on a printer laser. the glue; even to hack the fields the PostScript with setfonts and the movetos shows.

    I spent 40 years in the graphic arts; half of them I've struggled with Acrobat, on some products work quite complex with the features of questionable when delivery shoehorned in PDF format. When it comes to simple single-page monochrome form letter/A4 - the portable document more abundant on earth - we are now in Acrobat v10 and all I want to do is easily a form, sign and return by email and I still can't.

    Why is life so much harder now than when I could run that through a typewriter, Adobe? What you really do about it for billions? How much more precious moments of our lives that you're going to waste?

    (P.S. What difference is almost a day: hours after this - and just before submitting this article - I myself have discovered the cast with a few minutes more far experiments most already spent. Now, I can recreate the arrow and change the field. It's really not hard, but it's far from clear is the furthest thing of the good technique of the user interface. However, I know now the blessed Secret, or at least a part of it. But it does not change my position above. You can guess why, O Adobe priesthood of unbearable preachy? If it takes a programmer experienced hours to learn the combination, what makes you think to Grandma and Grandpa never go figure?)

    I have to say that a large part of the problem is due to the agency providing the form. This would have worked much better if they had taken the time to add real interactive form fields so that you wouldn't have to worry about the typewriter tool. It's actually good that Adobe provides that as an option of last resort for PDF files that look like forms. It of a little silly to provide a PDF of a form and makes it not to fill, especially since it's possible since Acrobat/Reader 3. This particular form would be easy to implement with fields.

    Regarding the file TIFF is not not qualify, it is worth looking at in more. Consider filing a bug report.

  • You can change the default values for shape layers?

    Specifically, I want the default paths Trim "connect multiple traces' '' individually '' and default STROKE line Cap and line join defined respectively on"Round cap"and"join Round '.

    I know that I can copy and paste these properties also but I wonder on changing the default settings - perhaps in a preferences file? Thank you

    No, there is no way to change the default values. If you have a set of properties that you always want to use, you can save them as a preset.

    Hello

    This script could help show how to get the type of field.  I'm reasonably show that he originally site of Stefan Cameron, http://forms.stefcameron.com/, but can not find it now.  Basically if you have a 'field' then ui.oneOfChild.className will give you the type of field.

    I don't think you'll have a chance to change the field type.  I think that you need to have all the field types you want on the form and that they are visible when necessary.

  • Address book - blackBerry Smartphones change the field "synchronize using.

    Hello world

    I recently changed my primary Gmail account on my blackberry (from [email protected] to [email protected]).

    I have a problem with sync'ing with my address book.

    All of my old contacts are synchronized via [email protected]

    And now, I would have them Sync with [email protected]

    In every Contact form, I discovered there is a synchronization field to aid which is filled with the google account. Unfortunately, you cannot change this field.

    Y at - it an easy and fast way to mass - change (the field sync using) all my old contacts sync with my new gmail account?

    I tried with importers and exporters of gmail to gmail, but I lose my contacts photos. I cannot accept this solution because I have more than 500 contacts and 90% of them have an image.

    So I'm asking if someone has an idea to solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply.

    But I decided I'm going to do it by hand and transfer between gmail via vcf file transfer account.

    It's a real pain in the * because I know that have to redo all the links between linkedin/facebook and my address book. And also photos of contacts. It would have been very happy to be able to mass change the field "to sync using"

    There is therefore no real solution to solve my problem except to waste a lot of time by hand.

    But I'll post another topic for a question than a problem with the synchronization of contacts and photos
