-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
if (range.location == 10) //this is calculate the overall string
{
return NO;
}
if ([string length] == 0) //string length is `0` hide the keyboard
{
return YES;
}
if ((range.location == 2) || (range.location == 6) ) //apply the `-` between the overall string
{
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-",textField.text];
textField.text = str;
}
}
