Hi All,

I want a validation  in my variable - only numbers and special characters should be allowed

Below code did not work. Can someone please help with the code for all the validations.

var pattern = /^[_A-z]*((-|\s)*[_A-z])*$/;

var name = g_form.getValue('number');

if (!pattern.test(number)){

g_form.addErrorMessage("Only Numbers and Characters are allowed");

}

}

 Thanks,

Karan

could you try with the code below?

var pattern = /^[0-9*#+]+$/;

var value = g_form.getValue('number');

if (!pattern.test(value)) {

    g_form.addErrorMessage("Only Numbers and Characters are allowed");
    g_form.clearValue("value")

}

Hi KARAN, 

Please try below code in your instance. As I have tried it in my own instance and its working perfectly fine. 

function onSubmit() {
var pattern = /^[0-9!@#$%^&*()_+\-=[\]{};':"\\|,.<>/?]*$/;
var value = g_form.getValue('u_string_1');

if (!value.match(pattern)) {
g_form.addErrorMessage("Only Numbers and Characters are allowed");
// g_form.clearValue("value");
return false;

}
}

I have applied this regex on bookname field and records are inserted as below:find_real_file.png

And giving error as per requirement of no letters:

find_real_file.png

 

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue!!

Adding to @madhuri

onSubmit() You also first check for Field is blank or not.

var value = g_form.getValue('u_string');

if (value == " ") {
    alert("Name must be filled out/ cannot blank");
    return false;
  }

Hi @karan

 You can try this code. it is working in my PDI.

 

function onSubmit() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
 var pattern = /^[0-9!@#$%^&*()_+\-=[\]{};':"\\|,.<>/?]*$/;
var value = g_form.getValue('u_lname');

if (!value.match(pattern)) {
g_form.addErrorMessage("Only Numbers and Characters are allowed");
return false;


}  
}
