Hi,

Does anyone know how to use the Spry Custom Pattern to validate an International Phone Number (to allow '+'00 000 0000, if that's what the user wants to enter,or any other format, etc)?

Thanking anyone in advance!

An approach might be to do the validation for each of format, save each
validation procedure then write a handler to select. Each of the
foramts is a defferent length. So maybe in mock code

if fld.len = 6 then
call function1
else
if fld.len = 9 then
call function2

else
if fld.len 10 then
call function3
else
error routine


etc, etc.

You you want to allow any one of the three patterns at run time?

quetion. Sound like some programing to me.

Hi Philo,

Sorry, I'm a bit of a Newbie when it comes to this sort of thing. I've had a look at the Help file, and understand which Value means what, but I'm not sure how to put the Custom Pattern together to allow all of these:
+44 1989 123456
44 1989 123456
01989 123456
Do you know if this is possible, or do you have to use one phone format?
Cheers
