Validate imported filename.

I want to validate imported filename. I have written script which validate the filename, but i am not able to call this script on import button click, so that it will give alert on invalid filename.

I have read other post also, but all says we need to custom the OOTB import functionality. Is there anyother way ?

Is it possible ?

You have exactly two options here, customize OOTB Import or build your own.

Or third option - add an onSaveValid event handler and validate the field there. It's not quite as nice as immediate feedback, but it is an option.

Thanks all for you response.

@ghoti - You are saying for the field validation, where we are going to browse the imported files.

Instead of validation on the import, i need to do validation on the browse of imported file.

If you need to do validation at the time of browsing or importing - then yes, Boris is right - you only have two options. The third option I presented was to perform validation of the imported item (post-import) before saving the DCR.

I have this Browse button

<>browser size="40" maxlength="80" extns=".gif,.jpg" />

When i will click on this button, i will open with dialog box, now when file is selected, how can i call IWItem.setRegex( RegX ) for validation of filename after Ok button click. Or is there any other way for validation like this ?

Firstly, TS Browser has nothing whatever to do to TS Import, that's two different concepts.
My previous comments were about customizing Import.

Secondly, do not bother with validation regex. Although TS Developers' Guide and FormAPI Guide
are somewhat inconsistent on the topic, <browser> Item ignores validation regex (unless of
course 7.2 differs in that respect as well)

Thanks for response Masters.

I have added callout button instead of browser, then done validation of the selected filename. It worked, on callout i have open the dialog by using Window.Open( Url for the Browser and also the callBackFunction ).

In the callBack function i have added code for validation.

But it works for the Field only. I have paragraph also in that I am using tinyMCE. Hence if file or image is browsed, I am not able for validate here.

How to do that, do i need to make customization in tinyMCE ?
Or Leave all this and do customization to existing import using OOTB import customization ?
