^ symbol is use for checking start of the pattern e.g in my case string must start with number bet 0-9 so i have used ^[0-9]
$ symbol used to check end of the pattern. e.g in my case it is 0 or more occurrence of comma followed by number so i have used (,[0-9])*$ .

As an alternative to masking or JS, you can chain into a script task and use logic in that script task to validate the user's entry. From there chain into an XOR gateway. If the user's input is valid, move on to the next form / task. If the user's input is invalid, chain back to the original form with a validation message near the field, instructing the user that his entry failed validation.

This approach allows you to take advantage of the full value of the platform (mobile), as Rikhi alluded to above.

Length of the number is not fixed, so i have used following regex in validation javascript
return (window.FormAPI.getValue("myTextField").id).match(/^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$/)

you can use
000,000,000......
here 0 takes 0-9

Have a look at forum.appian.com/.../Text_Field_Input under "Field Masking Rules". Note that this is not available if your form is mobile enabled.

i think we can not use number in text field for masking. supposeif we enter mask as "111,", in the form we have to provide 111,. other wise it returns invalid input.
So its better to go scripting
