Newbie regex perplexity...
|
Can't Post
|
|
I'm putting together a form validation/email CGI script and am completely new to Perl. The CGI part is actually working quite well, but I can NOT seem to get the hang of Perl's flavor of regex.
For form validation, I want to allow the user to enter the following characters in a telephone field:
0123456789-.() and spaces
How do I put togther the regex for this? Checking for numbers works great:
if ($value and $value =~ /\D/) {tag error here}
But EVERYTHING I've tried to allow typing the other characters causes the check to always fail. Can someone help me get my bearings here? Thanks!
