IP mask

Hi,

Anybody got an input mask for ip numbers?

Regards,
Piet

Hi Piet,

MatchRegularExpression has an all made example in the wizard. (If this is what you meant in your question.)

[0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}

Regards.

Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for the suggestion. I now have matchregularexpression working fine, but I cannot get the inputmask working. I use:
Myself..InputMask="regexp:[0-9.]{4,15}"
as suggested in the help.
With this mask no characters can be typed at all.

Best regards,
Piet

Hi Piet,

This is because you require a minimum of 4 caracters and when you start you have none. So the input is wrong. You "must" accept a mask with 0 caracters, or at least provide a starting value which is valid.

The InputMask is not good at validating, but is like a guide to help the user input data as required. This is an on going process.

Best regards.

Hi Piet...

if I remember correctly my regular expression, yours allow string
between 4 and 15 long.... So when you type your first number, the string
is only ONE long, and is incorrect

What I do generally in thos case is to put as mask something quite
permissive (by example here it would be[0-9.]{1,15}) and then check in
the field exit code with a precise expression if the result is ok (by
the way, Alexandre gave you a much more precise expression that you can use)

Best regards
