Formatting a Variable in Service Catalog

[Mussie]

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know how to do formatting with a text variable in Service Catalog items? My requirement is as follows:

Users need to insert a particular format:

ABC-12DE34-567-FGHI

The first bit only letters, second bit letters and numbers, third bit only numbers etc. My goal to provide users a nice text box which looks like this and also perform validation at the same time

I read in the wiki that I can accomplish this using UI Macros but I couldn't find any useful example that I can use as a guide. Can someone give me some hints?

Regards,

Mussie

I was able to do this using regular expressions:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
     if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
           return;
     }


     //format should be ABC/12DE34/567/FGHI
   var filter = ^([a-zA-Z]{3})\/(\w{6})\/(\d{3})\/([a-zA-Z]{4})$
   if(!filter.test(newValue)){
   alert("Invalid subject code format, it should be in this format - ABC-12DE34-567-FGHI.");
   g_form.setValue('subject_code_string', '');
   }
}
