Dear friends,

I need to validate a process number with 17 digits:
99999.999999/9999-99.
This expression works:
/^[0-9]{5}\.[0-9]{6}\/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}$/
BUT the problem is that user need to add dots, bars and trace manually.

When I try to exclude "\" before these elements, like the example below, I didn't take the same result:
Number:
999.999.999-99.
Validation: /^[0-9]{3}.[0-9]{3}.[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}$/
In this example. the user have points e trace autofill.

I know that I put a number more than 3 in the validation formula don't work.

There is a solution to add dots, bars and traces automatically when the user insert the information (in the first example)?

Thanks a lot!

A regex can't insert characters for you. You'll need to use an input mask - digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/ .

...or this one - github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask

Note for me : plugin idea

Dear friends,

Thanks for help.

Unfortunately, I don't have acess to limesurvey's directory: only the webpage.

In the second example, why it works? Maybe have a input mask for this in the code?

Thanks.

I have no clue how a validation regex could insert characters.

I have no clue how a validation regex could insert characters.

In the fisrt pic below, I start do type 002 and the dot is automaticaly completed:

In example, I start do type "002.831. (and these dots are automaticaly completed)

In validate regx we have the code of second pic of these post.

Its probable that have a plugin code with CPF mask in the limesurvey's folder?

Thanks

I don't know of any masks like that in the core LimeSurvey code and cannot reproduce it on any of my versions.

What version are you using?
What template are you using?
Have you tested with the default template?
Can you attach a small sample survey?

What version are you using? 2.05+ Build 141229
What template are you using? It's a template especific for my organization, but I imagine that the almost modification are only in design.
Have you tested with the default template? Only now. Are your a genious! In default template, limesurvey didnt't autocomplete like second example of my topic. I'll need to contact my IT area to modify lime template and include this mask, it's out of my control.

Congratulations! Finally I can discovery the cause of my regex don't work like other type of number in my form.

God bless you!

Hi, diego,

well, just to remind:
there is a topic in the manual about masked input
