You can attach a keyup event listener on your textarea and modifying it's content by splitting based on 1 or more non-digit characters and joining them with your desired pipe(|
) symbol.
document.getElementById('some_id').addEventListener('keyup',function(){
var content = this.value.split(/[^\d]+/);
this.value = content.join(" | ");
});
<textarea rows='10' cols='50' id='some_id'>
</textarea>
Ok, so as discussed in the comments, for your credit card formatting, you can do something like below:
document.getElementById('some_id').addEventListener('keyup',function(){
var content = this.value;
var new_content = '';
var temp_content = '';
var current_length = 0;
for(var i=0;i<content.length;++i){
if('0123456789'.indexOf(content.charAt(i)) != -1){
temp_content += content.charAt(i);
current_length++;
}
if(current_length === 25){
new_content += insertPipeForCreditCardFormat(temp_content) + '
';
temp_content = '';
current_length = 0;
}
}
this.value = new_content + temp_content;
});
function insertPipeForCreditCardFormat(credit_card){
var pipe_indices = new Set([16,18,22]);
var card_format = '';
for(var i=0;i<credit_card.length;++i){
if(pipe_indices.has(i)){
card_format += '|';
}
card_format += credit_card.charAt(i);
}
return card_format;
}
<textarea id='some_id' rows='10' cols='50'></textarea>
</div>
