I'm trying to find a JavaScript that will detect/remove/replace special characters such as "\" in LiveCycle Designer. I tried a few ideas using indexOf(), but it that doesn't seem to work. Is there anything that will work?

thanks.

Where is it that you want to replace these special characters?

String replacement can be done with the standard string.replace() function. You can look this function up in any Core JavaScript reference.

However, the code:

var nPos = MyString.indexOf("\\");

should easily find the "\" character.

Thom is using the double "\" because this is the special escape character in the Acrobat JavaScript Script object.
