Bart, the mask that I have been using is
<var-value>^[a-zA-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z0-9\n_,;?!;:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/\\()&$%#*+=-]*$</var-value
>
And this allows me to use spaces, & , - and other special characters
mentioned above. Just that \n does not work here.
Regards,
Sahil Gupta

Hi Sahil,
I'm 90% sure the problem here is that some more of the special characters in
your large character class need to be escaped out. Thing is I can't find any
details of the syntax for REs in the struts validator docs so I'm not sure
exactly which ones. At a guess I'd suggest the following:
<var-value>^[a-zA-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z0-9\n\r\
_,;?!;:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/\\()&$%#*+=\-]*$</var-value>
The character class only matches individual characters so & should not
be intere like that. As long as &, the letters a, m and P and ; are matched
then & will be fine. . is a special character in it's own right so to
represent an actual fulstop you need \. and - is certainly a special
character within a character class so it definitely needs to be escaped.
Your RE was also not allowing the space character and depending on your OS
new lines can also use the \r special character so I added \ (slash followed
by a space) and \r to the class.
Bart.
