Specific Bullet List Formatting

I have a client that has a specific way in which their bullet points are to be formatted.

Example:

:: Bullet :: Bullet :: Bullet

Each bullet must have the 2 colons and space in front.

Is there anyway to send an error note or automatically reformat them if the user doesn't follow this format?

Please help!

It might be necessary to see a sampling of your data to see what kind of input should be expected, but I think the following code should cover most scenarios:

//Replace "YOUR_FIELD" with name of your field (3x)
//search for first instance of alphanumeric character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and returns index
var TrashCharsLength = Field("YOUR_FIELD").search(/\w/);

//determine length of field and subtract number of characters preceding "live" data 
var TextLength = Len(Field("YOUR_FIELD"));
var CleanedData = Right(Field(YOUR_FIELD), TextLength - TrashCharsLength);

//add correct "prefix" to "clean" data
var BulletedText = ":: " + CleanedData;

return BulletedText;

Thank you - this is very close to what I need!

Next question: This coding changes the bullet format for the first entry to :: but the user is allowed to enter multiple bullets within the same field and I need the format to be changed in front of each one, not just the first.

Do I need to use separate fields for each bullet point and apply this rule?

Example:

:: Strength - Agility - Plyometrics

Do I need to use separate fields for each bullet point and apply this rule?

 

Example:

:: Strength - Agility - Plyometrics

I was under the impression that each bullet was it's own field.

While we can use JS to replace a string of characters with another (i.e. swap " - " with ":: ") I don't know that we can account for all the possible scenarios that a user might choose to enter his data.

Yeah that is kind of what I figured.

I'll try using separate fields for each bullet and see how that goes.

Thanks so much for your help!
