Help! Need rule for unique character

[strido]

So here's the story:

 

My customer has a field for the signature, called "CustomLine 01". This is to use a font they provide called "dakota". In some, not all of the signatures there appears the ® symbol. Dakota does not include this, it's a very barebones font.

 

Can I make a rule to search for all instances of that, and change it to like Arial or whatever so it doesn't output as a square?

[step]

Give this a try:

return Field("CustomLine 01").replace("®","<f name=\"Arial\">®</f>");

 

Make sure that you have "Treat returned strings as tagged text" checked in your rule editor.

Sweet! Thanks!

 

(er...now they want it superscript of course)

 

Any ideas?

 

Now it appears it's only changing the first instance of the ®

 

grrr

 

(there are two of 'em in the field)

[strido]

So to summarize, I need a rule that will change all instances of the registered symbol to arial, and make them superscript....

 

(never easy is it!?)

Hi strido, try this

 

lcFieldContent = "Acme ® and Acme 2 ®"

 

return ReplaceSubstring(lcFieldContent,"®","<f name=\"Arial\"><superscript>®</superscript></f>")

[strido]

lcFieldContent is not defined.....

[Andre Globensky]

that was my test var, here you go

 

lcFieldContent = Field("CustomLine 01")

return ReplaceSubstring(lcFieldContent,"®","<f name=\"Arial\"><superscript>®</superscript></f>")

Looks like that did the trick! Thanks alot!
