shift Tab between Phone and email

[oleooo]

Trying to split the phone number and email in a rule. I have created a if else statement so that if the email is missing the phone will center and if the phone is missing the email centers. I just can not get the last part to work. where generally in most programs if you hit tab shift it will equally split them.

Is there a way to code this with a tag.

 

here is the code I put together.

if (Field("Phone") < 1) {

return '<center>'+Field("Email")+'</center>';

} else if (Field("Email") < 1 ) {

return'<center>'+ Rule("phone format Rule1")+'</center>';

} else {

return '<p br=false quad=L>'+Field("Phone")+'<p br=false quad=R>'+Field("Email");

}

 

this is an example

Change the 14400 to whatever your frame width is (or just slightly under). Value is inches times 7200.

 

if (Field("Phone") && Field("Email"))
   return '<p br=false quad=L tabstops="0;14400,Right">' + Field("Phone") + '<t>' + Field("Email");
else
   return '<p br=false quad=C>' + Field("Phone") + Field("Email");

 

Explanation of whats happening here.

 

First you are evaluating if there is a value in both fields, if so then you are replacing the default tabstops with only a right aligned stop at the edge. Then placing the value of both fields separated by a tab.

 

If both fields do not have values, then you are replacing alignment with center and returning the value of both fields, only one of which will have something in it.
