Regex Validation Query

[SJEaton]

Hi

Does regex validation only allow you  to indicate what can be entered or can you for example set it up so that 0000 can't be entered?

@SJEaton the regex validation does what it says, mening to validate the input against the pattern you configured. If the input text matches the pattern in regex configuration then the text is validated and user allowed to continue. If the input text does not match the pattern in regex configuration then the text is invalidated and the user is not allowed to continue. So if you create a pattern to invalidate 0000, the user will still be able to type in this text but the user will get a visual warning that the text is invalid and it will lock the user in that form until the text is validated...

You if you are trying to accept a four digit number you could use "(?!0000)[0-9]{4}", to exclude them entering 0000.

You could extend that to exclude other common numbers.

(?!0000|1111|2222|3333|4444|5555|6666|7777|8888|9999|1234|4321)[0-9]{4}

Cheers
