Hello:

I run the following Regular Expression through Regular Expression Tester at
http://www.regexlib.com/RETester.aspx:

^([a-zA-Z0-9@.,\s])+$

Type in "InfoPath is a product". It will return a match.

Set this up to validate a textfield through data validation or a rule with
the "does not match pattern" condition and choosing Custom Pattern AND IT
DOES NOT WORK!

What is the issue?

Thanks!

Remove ^ and $. XSD pattern matching does not support them.

See

for more information.
