text field formatting problem

[jender624]

I have a field that I have a custom input mask on, like this:

__-____

There are two basic types of formats that it can hold:

123-4567
9W-1234

As you can see, the string before the hyphen can be 2 or 3 characters. I want to right fill the field when data is entered, instead of left filling. So I want this to happen:

___-___9
___-__9W
___-_9W1
___-9W12
__9-W123
_9W-1234

instead of this:

9W1-234_

This is cover the case of a 6 character code vs. a 7 character code. Is there a way to easily do this?

Thanks!

That's easy. Set your input mask to:
[tt]
!__-____
[/tt]

That did the job. Thanks!
