Class WRegExpValidator

java.lang.Object
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WValidator
eu.webtoolkit.jwt.WRegExpValidator
Direct Known Subclasses:
WTimeValidator
public class WRegExpValidator extends WValidator
A validator that checks user input against a regular expression.

This validator checks whether user input matches the given regular expression. It checks the complete input; prefix ^ and suffix $ are not needed.

The regex should be specified using ECMAScript syntax (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript)

Usage example: 


 WLineEdit lineEdit = new WLineEdit(this);
 // an email address validator
 WRegExpValidator validator = new WRegExpValidator("[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}");
 lineEdit.setValidator(validator);
 lineEdit.setText("pieter@emweb.be");

Note: This validator does not fully support unicode: it matches on the CharEncoding::UTF8-encoded representation of the string.
