Let me preface this with I am a newbie when it comes to ColdFusion.

I have a cfinput textbox that I want enforce the the entry of a six digit number or the word 'prospect', but nothing else.

How can I go about doing this?

Yes Adam, but he wants either one of these , a six digit number or a word PROSPECT, in this regEx will work??

Im sorry if i m wrong.

I wouldn't've suggested it if it wouldn't work ;-)

prospect|(?:\d{6})

Hi,

If you want to restrict the user to enter only 6 characters, you could use " maxLength " attribute.

You could also use a Javascript function in this attribute "onValidate"; first get the first character, if its a number, check for the length (6) and loop through it for the length and check for each character is a number, or if its a word, check for PROSPECT.
