Whole question validation equation (em_validation_q) was created by sekijr
I'm trying to follow this manual And here are my validation fields

Sub-question validation equation:
Code:
(is_empty(address_postcode) or regexMatch ('/\b\y\d{2}-\d{3}\b/', address_postcode))
and
(is_empty(address_post)or regexMatch ('/[a-zA-Z0-9]/', address_post))
Sub-question validation tip:
Code:
{if((is_empty(address_postcode) or regexMatch ('/\b\d{2}-\d{3}\b/', address_postcode)),'', 'Postcode is XX-XXX. i.e. 11-995<br />')}
{if((is_empty(address_post)or regexMatch ('/[a-zA-Z0-9]/', address_post)),'', 'Type a proper post name.')}

But it doesn't let me go through. What am I doing wrong?

"Whole question validation equation" like in the subject or "Sub-question validation equation" like in your post?

I would test sections of the equation before putting all parts together.
It could be that you're doing everything correct but LimeSurvey has a bug.
So what version/build of LimeSurvey is used?

The latest, jelo. Installed today.
The subject refers to the tutorial/manual's name in the link provided but I am using multiple short text with three sub-questions where two of them are validated by regex

Thank you for your response btw.

You will have to post the version/build. There are different branches and if everybody post today the search function will be useless if you search for certain versions.


You should export a survey with your question with issues. I don't know which place the validation equation is put. That's why I asked about the whole question vs. sub-question validation wording in your post.

Well, and Jelo told you that there are more than one stable branch at the moment (2.6x and 2.6.x) and this is why he is asking.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Use the question validation field instead of the subquestion validation.

I'm currently out of time but please try to change the AND into a OR and check if that helps.

Put that into the question validation (advanced settings of question)
Code:
(is_empty(address_postcode) or regexMatch ('/\b\y\d{2}-\d{3}\b/', address_postcode))
or
(is_empty(address_post)or regexMatch ('/[a-zA-Z0-9]/', address_post))

I did it as you asked. The tip shows up in green (default theme) and it lets me through even if I type letters in address_postcode field.

Seems that I am doing something wrong or the regex validation is bugged :( I used this feature in the old LimeSurvey 2.2x and it worked like a charm.

I would check every regex in a separate equation and via the question options regex field.
E.g. www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...28preg_validation.29

There are RegEx bugs in LimeSurvey popping up from time to time where certain rules are not working correctly. Sometimes everything is done correctly but LS is buggy.

If LS seems buggy : the best is to make a bug report
