How use Regex on a Variable Multi Line Text ?

Jeff60 · ‎06-08-2020

Hi all,

Currently, it is not possible to use "Validation Regex" on a variable of type "Multi Line Text".
I regularly use this possibility with "Single Line Text".

Unable to do so, I want to develop a validation script after entering the value in the field.

The value to validate is an RSA key of private type.

And it should be written like this :

----- BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY -----
MIIEpQIBAAKCAhjfsyneysdKC + aTZbetCh + h8VxOBIB / yMKMAUwT5hkAoV0Jp5NSp
uOQf16ZE1e4LfupQDWTr1YlL3M / LTSkshgsPCp9yL6ysiJrNM6yIcpTQQn8xHCJQo

----- END RSA PRIVATE KEY -----

Here is the Regex that I developed :

(-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n)\K.*+(?>\n.*)*?(?=\n(-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----))

I check for :

the presence of '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' at the beginning with a line break.
several lines with any type of character and a line break.
the presence of value '-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'

I find this script but it doesn't work :

Catalog client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
		return;
	}
	var regex = g_form.getValue('scm_rsa_key_private_part');

	if(!regex.match('(-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n)\K.*+(?>\n.*)*?(?=\n(-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----))')){  
		alert('Please enter a valid RAS key');
		g_form.setValue('scm_rsa_key_private_part','');  
	}
}

Have you any idea ?

Thanks you

Hello All,

Here is the solution that works for me.

Catalog client script :

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
		return;
	}
	var getval = g_form.getValue('YOURFIELD'); //Replace YOURFIELD by the name of your field.
	var regex = '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----([^-!]+)-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'; //Regex for RSA key (Private part)
	if(!getval.match(regex)){  
		g_form.addErrorMessage('Please enter a valid RSA Key (Private Part).');
		g_form.setValue('YOURFIELD','-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n!YourRSAkey!\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----'); //Replace YOURFIELD by the name of your field.
		return false;
	}
}

Thanks for your help.

Your regular expression doesnt match the string .

You can verify it in regex101.com website.

First you need to make correct regex and then proceed forward .
