HI i would like to do character validation for the scenerio

Field should allow only A-F,:,0-9 and also field length should be 39.

I tried with liek ----->field like "[A-F],[A-F][A-F]....up to length 39"
But the problem is if the value less than 39 its failing.
This is also failing field like "[A-F, ],[A-F, ][A-F, ]....up to length 39"

Can any one help me out

Regards

Field LIKE [A-F] OR Field LIKE [0-9] OR Field =":" in qual else an error message.Give the Input length as 39 in admin tool Field Properties.

Cheers!!!

Thnx for your reply it will consider only the first letter.
we have to do like

Field like "[A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F]...39" OR
Field like "[A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F]...38" OR
Field like "[A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F][A-F]...37" OR
.
.
.
Field like "[A-F][A-F]"
Field like "[A-F]"

I just want to know instead of using like this any short method is there for validating this criteria.
