Expression matching for form widgets

2004-09-09 Thread Derek Hohls
I am looking for some guidance for developing
patterns to help validate some form fields; for
example I need to check that an entry is in the
form

  AA00

where AA are uppercase letters and 00 are two
numbers.

If someone can help with this and, more generally,
point me to a good resource for learning how to do
this, I'd appreciate it.

Derek

From memory, Cocoon supports most regular expression syntax. There are 
heaps of reference sites, here's just one that's a reasonable introduction:

http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html
Your match could be done a number of ways, [A-Z]{2}[0-9]{2} or if Cocoon 
spits at this, try [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9]

Any site dedicated to Perl will also be full of examples, as is anything 
to do with the Java regexp class. O'Reilly also has a book but doubt 
you'll need to go that far, there's plenty of Web-based reference sites!
