Several Variables in a text box or text field


Is there a way to set different variables in a text area so that spacing between the line will be compatible?


Or do I need to break the text box in separate text fields?

(I searched the forum but have not found an answer.)

It's really very simple. I wonder if there is a way to have more than one variable in a textframe?

What do you mean by "variable"? Has Illustrator to an entire function defined in the user interface, called Variables. There are a range of Variables. If that's what you're talking about, then no, you can't bind multiple variables in a single text object. The so-called Variables data-driven are related to the object level.

If you're talking about the generic term of 'variable' in the sense of a script language, then Yes, of course you can replace text different ranges within a single textFrame with the values of several variables - as long as the values of the variables in question are text. Or, you can use the text of text ranges in one or more frames of related as the values of several variables.

Or should I abandon this script and write my own?

Yet once, nothing more than a description very vague and General what exactly you're trying to do. So, Yes, given that the purpose of this script is to simply concatenate the contents of several frames of text bound in one alone, and it is quite complex, my guess would be that you need to write your own.

Basically, if I have a list of addresses and hours of operation in a dataset. Currently, they are divided into separate, linked text frames.

Again, you use a term (dataset) which implies that you do refers to the function of Variables in Illustrator. If you speak only attach the text of several frames of separate linked text in Illustrator into one, you can do this in the user interface without any manuscript at all: just copy multiple text objects, download the text and create a new text object and paste tool.

If you need space, paragraph returns, or some other delimiter inserted at the beginning or end of objects separated prior to joining them through the normal in the user interface, you can take a look at the description of the scripts here named JET_ConcatenateTextAtEnd and JET_ConcatenateTextAtStart.

  • Why the text field to text?

    I created a form in the form of a word document Wizard.  The fields correctly filled.  There are several issues that have text fields that I had to be multi line and scrollable.  I have two checked options but when you fill out the form if the entered text exceeds the size of the box instead of a scroll bar it tightens the text.  Is there something that I am missing?  It's using Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7.

  • How to create a group/list of the variables in the box for display in the text field, in the format in annex

    I need to identify a series of variables single-response checkbox and display links selected (as a group) in a text field in an annex (comma, space) format. Last week, you provided a small script for a similar requirement by using the list box (multiple response) variables. This time, I need to know how to identify the variables of the box officially and, presumably, use a similar script to display the results in a comma, space format.

    You've been a great help.

    Thank you

    Here's the script for this situation. It assumes there are ten boxes named cb1, cb1, cb2,... cb10.

    // Custom Calculate script for text field
    (function () {
    
        // Initialize the string
        var v, s = "";
    
        // Loop through the check boxes to build up a string
        for (var i = 1; i < 11; i++) {
    
            // Get the value of the current check box
            v = getField("cb" + i).value;
    
            if (v !== "Off") {
                if (s) s += ", ";  // Add a comma and a space if needed
                s += v;  // Add the selected value
            }
        }
    
        // Set this field value to the string
        event.value = s;
    
    })();
    

    You will have to change the name of the field and start/end numbers to match your form.

  • Several checkboxes to update text box

    I have 7 checkboxes next to 7 text boxes. Read text boxes:

    1. Red
    2. Blue
    3. Green
    4. Cyan
    5. Magenta
    6. Yellow
    7. Black

    I have a 8th text box that is supposed to display the checkboxes are selected. So, if 1, 3, 5 and 7 are checked, 8 box should say:

    Red Green Black Magenta

    I already found a way to make this work, but the length of the code is crazy. I do an if statement, and then a statement for every single possible combination:

    else if ((redcheck == "Oui") & & (bluecheck! = 'Yes') & & (greencheck == 'Yes') & & (cyancheck! = 'Yes') & & (magentacheck == 'Yes') & & (yellowcheck! = 'Yes') & & (blackcheck == 'Yes'))

    Event.Value = this.getField("red").value + this.getField("green").value + this.getField("magenta").value + this.getField("black").value;

    It's brain numbing and I keep losing my place what needs to be combined. I feel there is a simpler way to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated.

    Ok.

    Try this script and change the names of the fields as needed:

    define the array of pairs of box and associated text fields

    each main element of the array consists of the field box and the text box to this box

    the field names are just an array of 2 points the first element, the name of the checkbox field and the second name of text field

    Invoke the var = new Array)

    ['CBOption.0', 'OptionText.0'],

    ['CBOption.1', 'OptionText.1'],

    ['CBOption.2', 'OptionText.2'],

    ['CBOption.3', 'OptionText.3'],

    ['CBOption.4', 'OptionText.4'],

    ['CBOption.5', 'OptionText.5'],

    ['CBOption.6', 'OptionText.6']

    );

    Console.Show ();

    Console.clear();

    Console.println ("number of fields:" + aFields.length);

    set the table for the values of text for selected fields

    var aValues = new Array();

    dealing with the fields of the table invoke him

    for (i = 0; i< afields.length;="" i++)="">

    Console.println ("checkbox:" + cry unto him [i] [0] + "text field:" + aFields [i] [1]);

    Console.println ("value of the checkbox:" + this.getField(aFields[i][0]).value);

    see if the checkbox field i is not far

    If (this.getField(aFields[i][0]).value! = 'Off') {}

    Console.println ("text field value:" + this.getField(aFields[i][1]).value);

    check box is selected - add to the value of the associated text field

    aValues [aValues.length] = this.getField(aFields[i][1]).value;

    } / / end of box not disabled

    } / / end of loop for far element

    set the field value to the content of the table of aValues

    Event.Value = aValues.join ("");

  • How to add a variable of type text in a package?

  • Lists at several levels in the text indented

    Hello everyone,

    I use RoboHelp HTML 11 and I have a question about the use of the lists at several levels in the text indented.

    The main text in my headings is indented by 122.7px in order to leave enough space for text boxes that summarize parts of the body of the text in the left margin.

    Now, I want to create a multilevel list style so that I can use these lists in the main text indented. Therefore, I created a "List_Style" paragraph style, which includes the indentation of the main text (122.7px). Then, I created a new multilevel list style, in which each list level is based on the paragraph style "List_Style". In my understanding adopt the indentation of the "List_Style" style, but unfortunately it doesn't. Can someone please tell me why and what I need to do to make this work?

    Best,

    Mr. Fox

    PS: My output will be Responsive HTML5 Layout and printed Documentation and I created all the styles that I use in RoboHelp.

    It is not a setting in HR or a word that will fix it. Word lists are a law unto themselves.

    You can map a multilevel list HR to a word list style. Maybe if you set up a list of words and mapped to that you will get a better result. You must create a multilevel list in a Word template and map that.

  • How can I change the contents of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

    Hi all!

    First time poster and getting quite frustrated trying to understand this issue. Here's the scenario: I use Acrobat Pro 10 to create what is essentially a form of giant order. I have designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and other whatnot and then it exported to Acrobat to continue the construction of the form.

    I have a radio button group called 'conference_opportunities' that contains different options at different prices, so they are all the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).

    What I've done is created a 'MouseDown' event on the button that sets a variable called 'ConferenceOpportunity', which is equivalent to the title of the option they pick. Then, I want to take this variable and display in a text box called "Conference_Option". I use a variable because my radio buttons values are actual prices of the option they pick, so I can't set the value as the title of the option.

    If its an array of boxes and option at the bottom of the page, there is the Option that they selected, the quantity (which can change) and value (in dollars)

    I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a kind of summary of what they have chosen to buy as well, but I guess it's the same code.

    I'm not an expert at all Javascript, so code snippets would help greatly. I looked on the Document from Adobe on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I also turned to the Almighty google and still no luck.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you all

    Right now, you have to do is use this variable to the value property of your text field... Then add this at the end of your code:

    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;

    Also, I would use not MouseDown, MouseUp.

  • Is there a way to make a box cause necessary specific text fields?

    I am looking for a way to make a "Yes" box when checked, cause specific text fields switch of the not required required.

    You could repeat the line several times, for example

    getField("Text2").required = event.target.value = "Yes"? true: false;

    getField("Text3").required = event.target.value = "Yes"? true: false;

    getField("Text4").required = event.target.value = "Yes"? true: false;

    etc.

    Simply change the names of the fields to your form.

    There may be better ways to generate scripts, but the works above.

  • Changing a variable length for text in Captivate 6

    I'm desperate to get a text input field variable, help I need of students enter their name as they want it to appear on a certificate and I called the s_Name variable, but it does not allow more than 15 characters, does anyone know how to change this option to allow the characters more?  I use Adobe Captivate 6.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    15 characters is the default when you insert the variable in a text caption.  But you can set this to anything from 1 to about 250... so you use the icon insert Variable Properties tab > accordion Format to insert the variable.  Locate the field in the dialog box that allows you to specify the display of the variable time.

    Please help someone!

    Hello

    You may need this resolved at this point, but here are a few tips.

    An example of a loop in a dynamic array is here: Re: how to make invisible/visible or hidden columns with checkbox?

    You are usually not necessary to resolve the nodes, especially when the script object is in the same table as the target objects.

    For example if the table was not static your script could be simplified:

    if (this.rawValue == "1")  // this object is in Row2
    {
         Row4.ComplianceCheck_L1_1.mandatory= "error";
    ...
    }
    

    However because you will be to loop through all the rows in the table repeatable instances / then you need to resolve the nodes. Take a look at the example above.

    In your script, you have to Row8 Row4. I don't know if this is repeatable or just some of them. If we take Row4 as being repetitive, then you can apply the following to all repeatable lines.

    var vRow4 = Table48._Row4.count;
    console.println("Row4: " + vRow4); // You can delete this or comment it out after testing
    
    if (this.rawValue == "1")  // this object is in Row2
    {
         for (var i=0; i
    

    I have not tested, but it should be close to work.

    Good luck

    To get the form to work, ask your host if they have a form to email script, you can use it on their server. Most is. If they aren't, search "form - language supported - email script" in Google. Make sure that the language on the server side you choose is supported on your server.
