dleahy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Having a bit of a script issue here. Hoping someone can help. Three Fields License1 (5 options) License2 (5 options) License3 (5 options) Input into these fields is optional so I have to be able to change out commas and the word "and" based on how many they select. function StrIsEmpty(Str) { var idx = 0; var nonSpaceCharCtr =0; while(idx < Str.length) { if(Str.charAt(idx) != ' ') {nonSpaceCharCtr++;} idx++; } return( ! nonSpaceCharCtr > 0); } var theData = Field("License1"); var nocomma = Field("License1"); if( ! StrIsEmpty(Field("License2")) ) return(nocomma + ","); if(Field("License3") != "") return(nocomma + "and"); else return(theData); Edited April 24, 2012 by dleahy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasLewis Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Out of the 5 options can they only choose one for each of the 3? If so the following should work: var lic1 = Field("License1"); var lic2 = Field("License2"); var lic3 = Field("License3"); var c = ", "; var a = " and "; var options = []; if (lic1.length > 0) options.push(lic1); if (lic2.length > 0) options.push(lic2); if (lic3.length > 0) options.push(lic3); if (options.length == 3) return options[0] + c + options[1] + a + options[2]; else if (options.length == 2) return options[0] + a + options[1]; else return options[0]; Basically set up an array and then add the commas based on how long the array is. If there are more then 3 options then you could set this up as a loop to append the commas until the last array number which would get a comma and an "and".
