Hi
I am working in version 19.3.
I have two requirements:
1. In a text field, user is able to enter only alphanumeric characters and no special characters.
For eg: User can enter the values- 1235678901, 12A3178R9, 12ru38901, u189132W9
2. In a text field, user can enter alphanumeric value of the form: 2 alphabets, 6 numbers, 1 alphabet. For eg: AG124567UP, ar781329kw, yT893052eR
I need to put validations on my text field, if user enters rather than expected values in both the cases.
If I had the restriction that user can enter only numeric value in the text field, then I would have used stripwith():
a!localVariables( local!inputValue, a!textField( label:"Test Value", value:local!inputValue, saveInto:local!inputValue, validations: if( rule!APN_isBlank(local!inputValue), "", if( rule!APN_isBlank(stripwith(local!inputValue,"1234567890")), "", "The value provided is not a valid number" ) ) ) )
Any suggestions please.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Komalc,
In apian have regex function for doing this kind of validation please use this. Before use that function you have to install regex plugin

I second Bhanu - Regex is definitely the way to go. With the right pattern it will provide the precise validation you're after with minimal effort.
