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("")) )
