How to restrict a field to not allow commas and £ symbol

[cstangoe]

Hi All.

I currently have a onChange Client Script which allows the number value be two decimal places. But I would like to redistrict this more to not include comma and also the £ symbol.

2 error examples

20,000.00

£20000.00

Correct example

20000.00

Here is the code I have at the moment

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    
    var regex = /[0-9]*\.[0-9]{2}/g;
    var answer = regex.test(newValue);
    
    if (answer == false){
        alert('Please enter a valid number. The number must be a float with two decimal places.');
        g_form.setValue('value', '');
    }    
}

any ideas were and what I could add to achieve this

Thanks

Hi,

You should just use the field of type integer, it will remove any $ or £ sign itself, allows decimal too.

i think restricting £ alone is not going to solve the issue as people might add other currencies.

But it does add , but you will be able to remove it via script easily if it is also not acceptable.

here is the regex which will restrict commas (,) and Pound (£)  - var regex = /^[^,|£]+$/g;

Try below in the background script for quick look. 

var newValue = '£abc12345';

var regex = /^[^,|£]+$/g;
var answer = regex.test(newValue);

gs.info(answer);

Please mark this correct & helpful if it answered your question.
