Using a Regular Expression for Validation
In the following example, the user must enter an value which matches a social security number.
Main Script
lfInstantHook("textField", "LiveFields/hook.sil");
lfWatch("textField", {"textField"}, "LiveFields/hook.sil", {"keyup"}); |
Hook Script
if (!matches(argv["textField"], "^\\d{3}-\\d{2}-\\d{4}$")) {
lfShowFieldMessage("textField", "You must enter digits in this format: XXX-XX-XXXX", "ERROR");
lfDisable("editSubmit");
lfDisable("createIssueSubmit");
} else {
lfHideFieldMessage("textField");
lfEnable("editSubmit");
lfEnable("createIssueSubmit");
