+3Can standard regular expressions actually be used as an input mask for PXTextEdit or PXMaskEdit UI controls as this article states?
If so, can someone point me to an example? Setting the input mask to anything other than basic Acumatica mask characters as shown in the article below results in the regex string showing in the field itself.
+17What regex format did you try? Some formats start with different indicators (I think).
+3Something very simple like [\w\\-]*. I understand there are different versions supported by different tools and languages, but this is pretty basic. I can’t find any guidelines, or examples used in the framework either. That’s why I’m asking for a working example - any example.
+17I can’t find any either, but it seems like the expression would need to start with ^. Did you try that?
Reading through that article again, I’m not sure the Regular Expressions section has any logical connection to the Input Mask section, except that they are both forms of input validation.
Hi ​
Acumatica does not go out of its way to document the regular expression engine. Acumatica is built on a .NET framework so looking at .NET regular expression standards appears to be a naturally good starting point, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/regular-expressions.Â
