How to: Validate the value of a property/attribute -
说明
There is a requirement to validate the value of a property/attribute using "Regular Expression" (Regex). -
解决办法
To validate the value of a property/attribute, you'll want to use an Administration Policy adding a "Property Generation and Validation" rule:
Select the object property to control:
Then for a RegEx, select the '' must match regular expression option:
In the case you're looking at, you need a two part expression:1) Checking for the first 4 characters being upper case between A and Z([A-Z]{4})2) check that the new 2 characters are numbers between 0 and 9([0-9]{2})Joining these together gives you an expression which checks if there is an occurrance of 4 upper case characters followed by 2 numbers anywhere in the string([A-Z]{4})([0-9]{2})For example, the below shows that aABCD12s is valid, as it contains ABCD12 which meets the RegEx:
To modify this so that the match must be at the start of the string, you prefix with ^, and to say it must match at the end, you suffix with $. Adding both the prefix and suffix, means that the bit in the middle has to be exact...^([A-Z]{4})([0-9]{2})$However with the latest RegEx (with the prefix and suffix), the same value is not allowed:
Setting it to be just ABCD12, is allowed as it meets the RegEx express:
