Alphanumeric Entries in Text Field Annomalies – Chars Stripped Leaving Numbers

    Hello
    CFF: Version 5.0.6

    Simple Problem

    I have a Text Field where the user has to enter alphanumeric CCCNN (c=char n=numeric )
    I am trying to mess with it using this snippet I got from the FAQ page 

    (function(){
var text = 'fieldname75';
text = text.replace( /[\s\t\r\n]/g, '' ); // not needed but copied from FAQ 
return text.length;

    })()`

    now when it is :
    BLANK it returns “1”
    CCCNN it returns “7”
    CCC10 it Returns “2”
    CC123 it Returns “3”
    12345 it returns “5”

    So it appears that somehow var text = ‘fieldname75’; is only passing Numerics in var text = ‘fieldname75’; when there is a numeric in the text field ?? and why does a blank field have a len value of 1 ??
    But …
    What I am trying to do is simple 

     function () {
    var text = prompt("Please enter your Code format CCCNN C=Char N=Number", "");
    var valarray = ['ASK10', 'ASK15', 'SHO10'];
    var disc

    if (text === "") {
      return 0;  // Blank no Code Entered so no calc to do 
    } else {
// Check for valid code - is it in array .. only 12 valid codes 
      if (valarray.indexOf(text) > -1) {  // yes we have a valid code
        disc = text.substr(3);
        disc = parseInt(disc, 10);
        return disc;  //  the NN of CCCNN for Calculations
      } else {
        return 99;  // Code entered but not valid no match to array 
      };
    };
  }

})()

    Test at JSFiddle very hacky noddy script for 10 alphanumeric codes

    Hello @metanoia77,

    Please, install the latest version of the plugin, and use your function as the equation associated to the calculated field but with some simple changes:

    (function () {
    var text = fieldname75,
          valarray = ['ASK10', 'ASK15', 'SHO10'],
          disc;

    if (text == 0) {
      return 0;
    } else {
      if (valarray.indexOf(text) > -1) {
        disc = text.substr(3);
        disc = parseInt(disc, 10);
        return disc;
      } else {
        return 99;
      };
    };
  }
})()

    Tip: Don’t use single line comments into the equations.

    Best regards.

    Hello
    Than you for prompt reply

    I only put the comments in the JS here to make it easy to read (Its not in the the site ). The new code still doesn’t work I assume that is because I am not on the latest version ? Well look at record #610592 on your own support system. I not informed of updates even though I bought the plugin. So how do I get the update please ?
    Thank you

    Hello
    you guys seem to think we bought a calendar plugin – which I have never heard of. I have opened a ticket #634333 on https://www.hotdreamweaver.com/support and restarted #610592
    As the solution above doesn’t work and on our version of the plugin there is no https://cff.dwbooster.com/documentation#register
    that is explained in #610592 and #634333 explains with images we have CFF not a calendar plugin
    so respectfully nothing is resolved and my @ss is being fried ??
    I gave the plugin 5 stars and respectfully I can show I am using CFF and the email of the purchaser. Everyone is on my case at my end moaning at me and no one is answering the two tickets for a simple fix -> please send me the latest version so I can put the code above in and fix the the problem.
    No one has a calendar. ??
    Please help me it not pleasant being fried
