The user is expected to type 12 characters: 3 groups with 4 characters for each group. I'd like to show groups separated from each other using "-" or another character like this right while editing:
ABCD-EFGH-IJKL
Is it possible?

You can use String.format class and get format you want.

it's inconvenient to work with it, one have to detect if it's the text or separator on every change like delete – 4ntoine May 07 '14 at 09:35
