Overview

The ValidatorEntryRegex class is used to validate an object against a regular expression. The regular expression supplied to the constructor of this class must be compatible with both ECMAScript regular expressions and .NET regular expressions (found in the System.Text.RegularExpressions package). Standard UNIX style regular expressions tend to be compatible with both for the most part.

To ensure that the regular expression matches the entire entry in the object being validated, you should add the ^ and $ markers in the expression to mark the beginning and end of the captured text respectively.

The ValidatorEntryRegex class should also be used to test for value matching as well as regular expressions. For example, if you have a select list containing the series of values, RED, WHITE and BLUE, you could test that the WHITE option has been selected by making the expression WHITE as in the following example:
