Re: How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?

2012-09-18 Thread John Pullam 

OK, I think I tried what you suggested--here is exactly what I did:

Added this to the page: cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=utf-8

Made the cfinput: cfinput type=text name=FName required=yes  size=30   
  validate=regex pattern=[:alpha:]  message=Please enter a valid First 
Name

This now allows nearly anything in the field, including characters that are not 
valid in names, such as $ or slash. It also leaves out the {2,50} length spec. 

So it doesn't seem to do what I need.

Did you try setlocale on the string as per previous example?

Re: How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?

Did you try setlocale on the string as per previous example?


Sorry but I'm not clear on how I would use that, so please help me understand. 
For background information, this is a form field coming in to a CFFORM that I 
am checking with CFINPUT regex validation.  I don't want to force someone to 
use a character set for a different country, I just want my string to be 
checked for accented characters. 

Do I need a setlocale to do that? If yes, what would I do with it? What locale 
would I use to accept all types of accented characters? 

This is obviously over my head. Sorry ...

not needed in this instance.

did swapping [:alpha:] for \w in the regex expression work or not? if not, what 
version of cf?

No, it started rejecting all names when I did that. I am running CF9.

you're doing it wrong:

cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=utf-8
cfscript
x=Tá mé in ann gloine a ithe; Ní chuireann sé isteach nó amach orm.;  
writeoutput('reFind says: #reFind([[:alpha:]],x)#brbr');  
/cfscript

How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?

2012-09-16 Thread John Pullam 

I've read a whole bunch and tried many things but I can't seem to get my regex 
pattern to allow accented characters, which will occur in people's names. My 
cfinput currently looks like this:

cfinput type=text name=FName required=yes  size=30 validate=regex 
pattern=^[\w'\-\ ]{2,50}$ message=Please enter a valid First Name

It is fine on non-accented names like John or hyphenated names but as soon as I 
enter a name with accents, it posts an error. For example, Agnès. 

I've played with other versions including :alpha: and [A-Za-zÀ-ÿ'\-\ ] but 
nothing seems to work correctly.

Sure would appreciate some help on this ... what am I missing?

It is possible that cf regex doesn't support unicode, so you should perform
some basic tests to confirm that, plus make sure the string your testing is
in unicode format

Most if the stuff in that post refer to more general regex processing, not the 
ColdFusion implementation. When I tried his syntax, CF failed with errors 
because it doesn't appear to be recognized.
