Giancarlo Amati Pattern matching validation rules
Dear All,
we have just released a new naming convention for our contract names. We have a "Contract ID" field in the opportunity which is a text.
How can I make sure that the text matches a certain pattern? For example, the convention we have set is:
6LettersAccount-date - Customer FULL NAME - Product name
So the three parts are separated by a dash. Is there something in salesforce that can help me to do some Patter Matching with Validation Rules?
Thank you.

You can use regex function in validation rule formula for this.Regex is a function used in validation rules to validate format of the data should be entered.
Regex Compares a text field to a regular expression and returns TRUE if there is a match. Otherwise, it returns FALSE. A regular expression is a string used to describe a format of a string according to certain syntax rules.
