Thank you all - Kangax's low profile technique works like a champ. Walter Lee: Regular expressions hurt my head. I will get there one day. The actual thing I am working on take about 100 alpha/numeric sequences of no real logical order... so making it in regular expression would take far longer

I need V3 and B47242 and V54000 to be valid. Any other sequence would give the error message. On Feb 5, 7:02 am, david wrote: > Hi Michael, > > Do you have any restriction, for the valid number sequence, because, > we must create any regexp for a precise need. > So what is you're EXACT nee

Hi Michael, Do you have any restriction, for the valid number sequence, because, we must create any regexp for a precise need. So what is you're EXACT need? -- david On 4 fév, 22:50, Michael wrote: > Hi - I want to use this validation for an alphanumeric field. > > return Validation.get('IsEmp
