Jeff: Seems like Nick would want to validate this on the client side even before sending it to the server.
If the checkAds() method internally used regex to validate each property in the Ad definition, it would be useful to open that up to API users (including us) so they can preform client side validation before submitting a request to the AdWords API server(s). Agreed that this wouldn't be a 'catch all' validation but some level of client side validation (before submission to the server) almost always improves user experience. - Rohit On Dec 4, 8:09 am, AdWords API Advisor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Nick, > > I don't have a catch-all regex for you, but I'd recommend that you > make use of the checkAds() and checkCriteria() methods to validate > your ads and criteria (or at least a subset of them that you think > might have issues) before trying to upload them.
