Detect Emoji's in a textbox

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

I have a textbox that will contain a potential Team Name. I want to check the text before being able to go to the next screen. 

If the team name text contains emojis (👍😊👌👏🐱🏍etc) I want to display a label saying no emoji's and disable the "next" button.

How do I detect emoji's in the text?

Thanks

    Hi @Dahcjo ,

     

    The below formula will return true if the text in the first argument only contains letters, numbers or spaces:

     

    IsMatch(
     "Team Name",
     "^[A-Za-z0-9\s]*$"
    )

     

    You can use this for the Visible property of the warning label and to disable the button by setting its' DisplayMode property to:

     

    If(
     IsMatch(
     "Team Name",
     "^[A-Za-z0-9\s]*$"
     ),
     DisplayMode.Edit,
     DisplayMode.Disabled
    )
