Match Input Overview

A Match Input field is a Plain Text field with the addition of a regex pattern that the field must match to be valid.

Using Match Input

When you create the field, you specify the Input Mask. This is the PCRE Pattern which the input is required to match. You also specify an Error Message to display when the field does not match the pattern.

If you need to translate the Error Message (for a multi-language control panel), those translations will be in the site translation category.

Sample Input Masks

• https:// - not a valid pattern (no delimiters)
• /https:\/\// - valid pattern, will match string with https:// in it anywhere
• #https://# - valid pattern, will match string with https:// in it anywhere (sometimes / isn't the best delimiter)
• #^https://# - will match string that begins with https://
• /^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$/ - will match 5 digits, optionally followed by - and 4 digits (uses ^ and $ to match the entire string)
