[Converting a Number to a letter]

Hi Dan I figured out the issue finally.

The substitution is not catching 0. When there is a 0 in the phone number, the phone script fails.

Do you have any ides on this?

 

Thank you

[Converting a Number to a letter]

Hello all I got some help with this 6 months or so ago, and it seems that something happened and it's not working anymore.

Here is what I need to achieve.

We are doing versioned cards for a school for the blind. The front is sighted text, and the back get's embossed with braille for dual use.

 

I got help getting a code that would allow the user to enter in their phone number, and it would convert it to US English 2 braille. (IE the numbers become letters.) it was working fine for a while, now it's no longer working. A note we do not use what get's generated for anything more than a proof, another vendor does the braille embossing.

 

Here is the variable, if they want the same phone in braille that is in phone 1 we allow them leave the braille phone line blank.

 

Here is the code I have been using.

This job resides on an EFI/Digital Store front site, and is allowed for one off use only. Any ides why I'm not getting the result i'm looking for?

 

Var1 = Field("Phone1")

Var2 = Field("Braille Phone")

 

if (Field("Braille Phone") =="")

 

return formatBraille(Field("Phone1")); // #617-555-1234

 

else

 

return formatBraille(Field("Braille Phone")); //#+617-555-1234

 

////

function formatBraille(number) {

number = number

.split('')

.map(function(s) { return /\d/.test(s) ? Chr(96 + Int(s)) : s; })

.join('')

.replace(/[^a-j]/gi, '')

.match(/^(.{3})?(.{3})(.{4})$/);

if (!number) return '';

number.shift();

return '#' + number.filter(Boolean).join('-');

}

 

 

Thank you

[Creating a Custom overflow rule]

Thank you Dan

I was looking at this in the way you would have to do it in Indesign with a negative indent to get it back to where I wanted it. Was making it more complex than it needed to be.

 

Thanks for your help.

Than you for the quick reply Dan

 

I don't have data since it's an online application.

I do have a manual way to do it, but the users are ignoring it.

 

I have attached a pdf of what the card options can look like.

[Creating a Custom overflow rule]

Here is the problem I have. My client needs to have a custom overflow rule.

If their text is longer than the specified title one area it needs to break to title two line, but i needs to indent 3 spaces ti indicate it's a continuation of the title.

If this happens we need to suppress title tile and use the title one.

If it's not longer we want both title 1 and title 2 on the piece.

 

I now have a yes/no option to have the user select is the title is too long, but they are not doing it and it's had a few cards be wrong.

 

Any help with this would be great thank you!

[Format Text Like a Phone number]

Thank you very much, this worked perfectly.

With this code I was able to modify it to use another field is they leave it blank.

[Format Text Like a Phone number]

So I have an interesting issue.

 

My client needs to have text formatted like a phone number.

 

A little background this client is using a braille translating service to convert a phone number to Grade 2 braille.

 

so 617-555-1234 is represented like this. #fag-eee-abcd

 

Here is what I need help doing. The text must always have (#) in the front to note that this is a number, and we must be bale to have the rule format the text like a number #fag-eee-abcd.

 

We want to set the programming to be bale to accommodate the text entry of #fag-eee-abcd or #fageeeabcd.

 

I tried modifying the format phone rule, but with little success, any one have any suggestions for this?

 

Thank you

Sean
