How to Implement Regular Expression Validation on Table Field

Post by henryA »

I have a demo table that I would like to add validation with regular expression to check that the text entered into a text-field does not contain spaces. I can see that table's field Edit Tag, it has 2 options for adding client side or server side regex. I am just not sure how on how to implement the regex code I have. I have made sure that the client side and server side functionality is activated on the General Option settings.

This is the code I currently wish to use in the client side:
/\S*/g
This code matches all strings without white spaces.

The confusion is that do I have to write it the usual javascript way? As in:
var regX = /\S*/g;

I have tried both ways though, and I still can't get it to do the validation right. It throws an error when I try to add a text in the field.
ERROR:
Invalid Key Value

Please, any ideas on how to make this work?

You should enter only the regular expression pattern (i.e. /.../).
