validating IP address URL in catalog variable

[Amit Dey1]

Hi I have a requirement to validate this type of IP address in catalog variable , example - http://10.68.6.238 , so which regular expression to use for this

The issue is your else if-statement. You are checking "if the first regex doesn't match, OR if the second regex doesn't match". Meaning if one of them does match, the condition is still evaluated to true, and you consider the URL invalid.

Change the else if-statement to check "if the first regex doesn't match, AND if the second regex doesn't match", this will give you the result you are looking for.

else if ((!re.test(fieldValue) && !reipurl.test(fieldValue)) && (fieldValue != '')) {
    g_form.showErrorBox(fieldName, "Please enter valid URL");
    fieldValuefields.push(g_form.getLabelOf(fieldName));
    isValid = false;
}

Yes, try this

var reipurl = /^https?:\/\/(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$/;
