Validation-regex

System

I'm trying to limit the number of characters in a textarea element in a DCT to 100. I'm using the validation-regex documention provided by IWOV's Article # 1910 with no success. Regex is validating the the textarea element as an error when text under 100 is provided. No validation error occurs when no text is entered. Below is the DCT I'm using. For testing purposes I have changed the text limit to 3 instead of 100.

from what i saw , the regex in that article tells you how to exceed a limit, not how to contain it .
try something like /[a-zA-z0-9_?]{0,100}/
This should match the characters in [.....] within that limit..

thanks for the note....I realize this after and tried using the following ^/.{0,3}/$...

This is suppose to allow any character from 0 to 3 in length to be entered into the element. When the character exceeds 3 then an error is raised. This seems to do the same as what you have suggested.

This is not working either.

Any ideas..?

Thanks

you are using ^/.{0,3}/$
this means that it will search for a string starting with a "/" and ending with a "/"..if thats what you want, then try replacing the "." with "[a-zA-Z0-9_]" or "[\w]"This will match all the characters within the [....].

but i feel removing the ^ and the $ should do it..

pandit

try this in your code:

validation-regex="^.{0,100}$"
OR
validation-regex="^.\{0,100\}$"
should work

I am trying to validate a field that has a maxlength of 2 and it is a number. I tried this:
<text size="2" required="f" maxlength="2" validation-regex="^[0-9]"/>
but when I type in 2a, there's no validation on the text (a). I was able to save the file. Any suggestions?

The regex you wrote only assures that the first character is a number. Try this:

validation-regex="^\d\d$"

or

validation-regex="^[0-9][0-9]$"

Actually - If you want to accept both 1 and 2 digit numbers - then I think it needs to look like:

validation-regex="^([0-9]|[0-9][0-9])$"

fish, I'm shocked! You're usually really good about getting these things down to the smallest possible chunk. Couldn't you just say this...
validation-regex="^(\d{1,2})$"

Oh Maureen, I am sure that fish was just distracted by the pure joy he got correcting my wrong answer. Smiley Happy

I thought about that - but didn't have the time / energy to test out to verify that systax worked as desired/expected - so I went for the long-hand approach.
