Hi Hive Mind,
I want to add a validation to a TextInput that disables a submit button if TextInput.Text is not in the range of P00001-P99999.
It's probably obvious, but its got me stumped on this Friday morning.
Thanks in advance 👍
Here you go:
If(IsMatch(TextInput1, "^P([0-9]{5})$"), "Matches", "Does not match")
Edit: I've just realised this will also match P00000. If that's an issue, we can correct it.
Edit 2: Here you go:
If(IsMatch(TextInput1, "^P(?!0{5})[0-9]{5}$"), "Matches", "Does not match")
Thanks for the quick reply @charlessexton. Excuse my ignorance, where do I need to apply this?
Ah, sorry. Put this in the DisplayMode property of your submit button:
If(IsMatch(YOURINPUTCONTROL, "^P(?!0{5})[0-9]{5}$"), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)
@charlessexton that's awesome, thank you.
I do now have an extension question. Can I wrap that in an Or function to achieve validation for the same range of 'H' numbers?
You could do that, or it can be included in the regular expression in the IsMatch() function, like so:
If(IsMatch(YOURINPUTCONTROL.Text, "^[P|H](?!0{5})[0-9]{5}$"), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)
@charlessexton you've made my Friday awesome. Have a great weekend, and Thank you.
Thanks @SieraQuebecLima . It makes me happy to hear that! Have a great weekend, too. You're very welcome.
Revisiting this with the aim of offering use of a barcodereader to fill the same textinput. I'd like a scanned input to enable the button also. can this be done?
