REGEX Validation problem

Hello,

I am trying to add a regular expression validator so a text field only allows alpha-numeric characters, the - and _

Here is the code I have in the chunk:
<input maxlength="60" name="name" type="text" eform="Your Name:string:1:required field or invalid characters:#REGEX [a-zA-Z0-9_.-] " />

When I test this with valid entries such as "Name" it still gives an error.

Am I not formatting something correctly in the regular expression or parameters?

Thanks for any help.

try this: [a-zA-Z0-9_.-].+

I got it working !! The eForm uses preg_match() php function and it’s rules not ereg(). As a result the regular expression needs to be enclosed in forward slashes. Here is the code that is now working:

<input name="name" id="name" class="text" type="text" eform="name::1:Only letters and numbers allowed:#REGEX /^[A-za-z0-9’ _.-]+$/"/>

Hope this will assist everyone.
