Subject: Have you considered, the simple Validation formulas on Data Entry Fields ?

You can do this easily, using the @Formulas.Try this in a button you create in a Notes Rich Text field, like a Mail Body:

REM {By Peter Rosenberg};

REM {June 2012};

TaxFormat:=“???{0-9}{0-9}{0-9}{0-9}???{0-9}{0-9}{0-9}”;

TaxFormatReadable:=“abcde9999ABC999”;

input:=@Prompt([OkCancelEdit];“Enter value to test”;“Enter a value in this format”;TaxFormatReadable);

Result:=@If(@Matches(input;TaxFormat);“Value is in correct format”;“Value having wrong format”);

@Prompt([Ok];“Result of Format Check”;"Your value was determined to be: "+Result)

Subject: Take a look in domino designer help

The key function being used to achieve what you want is @matches. If you look in Domino Designer Help, you’ll see that @matches has a Lotusscript suggested equivalent of Like

So with that information, Domino Designer Help, you should be able to convert it pretty easily to LotusScript.

Subject: Use regexp or Lotusscript function Like

For simple things like what you describe, you can use “Like” in Lotusscript.If you have more complex expressions/pattern, use regular expressions (regexp) as I describe on my blog here: http://planetlotus.org/9e95bc
