Create Validations Using Regular Expressions

How to validate input values by writing Regular Expression rules 

Risk Cloud uses the standard JavaScript RegExp constructor for validating Field input values entered by end-users. Certain Field types (Number, Text, Text Area, etc.) allow the entry for a RegExp validation string which will check against the input value. 

Regular Expression Examples

For example, to create a validation that would require the user to enter the letter A, B, or C followed by 4 numbers you would enter the pattern validation string of 

^[A-C][0-9]{4}$

Common RegEx Examples

1. 5 Digit Zip code: [0-9]{5} 

2. Hyphen Separated US Phone Number: [2-9]\d{2}-\d{3}-\d{4} 

3. Email Address: .+@.+\..+  

4. Set a specific number of character for a code/ID field. For example this RegEx will require users to input exactly 9 numbers:  ^[0-9]{1,9}$ 

5. Date in mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy format: 

((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))[\/-]((0[1-9])|(1[0-9])|(2[0-9])|(3[0-1]))[\/-](\d{4})
