How do you restrict a field to contain alphanumeric characters only?

 

This is an example of code that uses regular expressions to limit a field's entry. Put this in a field's Input Validation formula:

 @If( @Matches(Serial_Num; "+{0-9}"); @Success;

 @Matches(Serial_Num; "+{a-zA-Z}"); @Success; 

@Do(@Prompt([OK]; 

"Invalid Serial Number"; 

"The Unit Serial Number contains an illegal character, probably a carriage return. Please remove the illegal character and save again."); 

@Return("")) )
