validations

Question

Hi, I need a validation that the user can enter only numbers from 01-99 . How can we do this? Is there any range function or limit function to check it?

Assuming the field you're using to capture the data is an Integer field you can write a validation on that field: 
 {
 a!integerField(
 label: "Integer",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 value: ri!myInteger,
 saveInto: {
 ri!myInteger
 },
 refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
 validations: {
 if(
 fn!or(
 ri!myInteger<0,
 ri!myInteger>99
 ),
 "Invalid value - out of range (0-99)",
 null
 )
 }
 )
}

Other options: 
 
 dropdown with all of the valid options in it (it's not too clunky for the end user) 
 a custom picker that only returns the values 01-99 - this would be a better user experience than the dropdown as you'd only get up to 10 suggestions when the first character is entered

 This is a bit different from what you wrote originally - can you clarify (which you should have done initially), EXACTLY what the user is expected to be typing in their text field, including not only the values but the manner by which they will be SEPARATING the individual values they enter, etc? This is an intricate question, and so in order to provide a correct answer, we really need these details up-front without having to try one solution only for you to clarify that the real question was something rather different....

regexmatch(
 pattern: "^0*[0-9]{0,2}$" ,
 searchString: ri!x
) 
 above pat tern will allow only value between 01-99, and x can be type of string.
