<div>Custom ([^0-9])</div>

validCharacters="custom"

Specific characters:

• For specific character input, you MUST wrap your pattern in brackets []. This is similar to a RegEx pattern.

  • [abc123] only allows the characters "abc123".
  • [0-9] or [\d] only allows numbers.
  • [a-zA-Z0-9] only allows alphanumeric characters.
  • [^0-9] allows any character EXCEPT numbers.

• Other RegEx patterns are handled as-is but copy/paste is disabled:

  • ^[0-9]{1,5}$

Pattern-based:

• For pattern-based input, you MUST use the # character to represent numbers (0-9).
  • Segements are created by using one of the following characters:
    • space ( )
    • dash (-)
    • underscore (_)
    • forward slash (/)
    • period (.)
  • Segment characters cannot be used consecutively.
  • Each segment must contain at least one # character.

NOTE: The sdk-textbox also captures and formats text that is pasted in from the clipboard.
