## Class TRegularExpressionValidator

Description

TRegularExpressionValidator class

TRegularExpressionValidator validates whether the value of an associated input component matches the pattern specified by a regular expression.

You can specify the regular expression by setting the RegularExpression property. Some commonly used regular expressions include:

     French Phone Number: (0( \d|\d ))?\d\d \d\d(\d \d| \d\d )\d\d
     French Postal Code: \d{5}
     German Phone Number: ((\(0\d\d\) |(\(0\d{3}\) )?\d )?\d\d \d\d \d\d|\(0\d{4}\) \d \d\d-\d\d?)
     German Postal Code: (D-)?\d{5}
     Email Address: \w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*
     Japanese Phone Number: (0\d{1,4}-|\(0\d{1,4}\) ?)?\d{1,4}-\d{4}
     Japanese Postal Code: \d{3}(-(\d{4}|\d{2}))?
     P.R.C. Phone Number: (\(\d{3}\)|\d{3}-)?\d{8}
     P.R.C. Postal Code: \d{6}
     P.R.C. Social Security Number: \d{18}|\d{15}
     U.S. Phone Number: ((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}
     U.S. ZIP Code: \d{5}(-\d{4})?
     U.S. Social Security Number: \d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}

Note, the validation succeeds if the associated input control contains empty input. Use a TRequiredFieldValidator to ensure the input is not empty.

Method Summary
boolean evaluateIsValid ()
array getClientScriptOptions ()
string getRegularExpression ()
void setRegularExpression (string $value)
Methods
evaluateIsValid (line 75)

This method overrides the parent's implementation.

The validation succeeds if the input data matches the regular expression. The validation always succeeds if ControlToValidate is not specified or the regular expression is empty, or the input data is empty.

- return: whether the validation succeeds
- access: public

boolean evaluateIsValid ()

Redefinition of:

TBaseValidator::evaluateIsValid()
