Spry Form Validation

[Guest]

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!

I have made several custom validation. Just go to the help, there is
quite a bit of info and it is where I got my info.

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

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

Hi Philo,

Yeah, I guess that's what I need . . .to validate the input, but to alow the user several options as previously stated. As the phone number might be international, they may or may not want to use the '+' prefix, so I would like to accomodate this. . . .is it possible?

From the help I don't see a way. A google only brought up your
quetion. Sound like some programing to me.

That's what I'd thought, thanks for your input though, much appreciated!

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.
