Laura Gil Can somebody please explain me what this REGEX validation means?
Hi all,
I am trying to build a validation rule with REGEX for the field Phone. The validation rule should check the following:
Allow: Numbers
Allow: Characters such as '+', spaces, parenthesis '(', ')', '/', '-'
Allow: Character '+' should be only at the beginning of the phone number not in the middle or at the end
So, just searching pages with REGEX tutorials but unfortunately I could not find any appropriate in order to also decrypt the following expression literally:
NOT(REGEX(Phone,"(\\D?[0-9]{3}\\D?)[\\s][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}") )
No idea what do the following do?:
\\D? (at the beginning and at the end)
{3}
\\s
{4}
I would appreciate if experts in REGEX could give me some guidance here.
