Question (or feature suggestion?) about "input masks"...
In a field where I enter info about author names, I need an input mask which in RegEx could be translated as :
[.](([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*[.]
Or
([.])(([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*([.])
(that's a pretty common syntax I believe -- used in Java, Perl...)
Basically, it'd allow me to enter a succession of
.Name,First name,Name,First Name.
With periods around the string.
It wouldn't allow any numbers or other characters.
for fun, It tried the [.](([a-zA-Z])*([,])([a-zA-Z])*)*[.] in the input mask text box, but it doesn't work.
It could be that it can't do that, or it could be there are elements of the syntax (VB regex ?) I just don't know.
I'd appreciate any help or feedback on that one.
