Hello,
I have question on Masking text field. I want to set the textfield to accept only Alpha-Numeric characters(A-Z, a-z, 0-9). If I use the masking functionality and use 'a', it works good for small characters, but when I need it for a big character size upto 50 chars, it is taking a lot of time to validate the text. Is there any other way to implement it?
Right now we are using the Masking value of 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..' (50 a's)
Thanks,
Sunil...

We don't want to use javascript for this. Please let me know if there is any Appian function to make it work.
Thanks

You could use the "Appian Regular Expressions" plug-in available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" record (forum.appian.com/.../all)- Expression Functions or using the direct link forum.appian.com/.../summary

but the validation would have be done post-submission of the form

Thanks much Eduardo. May I know the supported versions of this plugin. In the page it is not mentioned about the supported versions for this plugin. We are using a older version of Appian Server (v6.5.3). Please let me know if it supports our version.
Yes, it is a portal form.

Thanks

It will work perfectly fine since it uses Java 6 SDK classes and nothing Appian-specific that can make it version-specific
