Validation regex not working

[Community Alums]

Hi all,

Im trying to create a validation regex for a string field

regex is : 

^([a-zA-Z\d]{2}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{4}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{4}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{3}|[a-zA-Z\d]{6}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{3}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{4}[-.][a-zA-Z\d]{1})$

The requirement is it should allow both formats below, and can contain numbers and letters(case insensitive) and delimters can be - or .

xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx

xxxxxx-xxx-xxxx-x

when I run the above regex in background script, it works fine. But not in catalog item in portal

Can someone suggest me a solution, please

Thanks

Hi there,

Since you are mentioning in background script it works fine, though in catalog not: please share how you are trying this exactly and what is failing.

Hi Mark, below is the background script, all the test values are working

// Define the regex pattern

var regexPattern = /^([A-Za-z\d]{2}-[A-Za-z\d]{4}-[A-Za-z\d]{4}-[A-Za-z\d]{3}|[A-Za-z\d]{2}\.[A-Za-z\d]{4}\.[A-Za-z\d]{4}\.[A-Za-z\d]{3}|[A-Za-z\d]{6}-[A-Za-z\d]{3}-[A-Za-z\d]{4}-[A-Za-z\d]{1}|[A-Za-z\d]{6}\.[A-Za-z\d]{3}\.[A-Za-z\d]{4}\.[A-Za-z\d]{1})$/;

// Sample value to test

var valueToTest = "0182WA.203.6010.5";

var val2 = "0182WA.203.601q.5";

// Check if the value matches the regex

if (regexPattern.test(val2)) {

    gs.log("The value matches the pattern.");

} else {

    gs.log("The value does not match the pattern.");

}

But when added in validation regex for catalog item variable it shows as error:

Don't see it yet, though just created the same Regex Validation and tested it with a Catalog Item, instantly works fine 😅
