[CLOSED] specific words in the MaskRe

[JCarlosF]

How can I specify specific words in the MaskRe property of a textfield?

For example, it only accepts: 'word1', 'word2' and 'word3'


thanks!

Hi. Can you provide the regular expression that you are using? The regular expression is used by the component to validate the input, so if the regular expression you are using captures those values, then it should work.

MaskRe="[/abc/, /jko/]"

But it doesn't work for me, it accepts abc, bca, ccc, ooo, etc.

I need it accept 'abc' and 'jko' strictly in that order

the following expression works for me but only if I assign it to the regex property, how can I get it to work for me in maskre?

Regex="/\b(abc|jko)\b/"

I tested your last regex and it doesn't appear to match the cases in your requirements.

Yes that is an example that meets my requirement, with that expression I can capture abc or jko. That works in the regex property, but not in the maskre property, what is the difference between maskre and regex? thanks!
