Android Question [Solved] Prevent entering "/" with RegexPattern

[angel_]

I use B4XInputTemplate and I have this:

input.RegexPattern = ".+" 'require at least one character

How can I also prevent the user from entering "/" in the input.

Do you want to use Regex particularly? What about ...

Sub test(input As String)
    If (input.Length < 1) Or (input.IndexOf("/") > -1) Then
        xui.MsgboxAsync("Input must ......", "Input error")
    End If
End Sub

Try this one. It seems to work, but there maybe better ways using regex

InputTemplate.RegexPattern = ("(?!.*\/).+")  'disallow forward slash

Edit : Okay - I see that you do need to use Regex.

Untested:

input.RegexPattern = "[^/]+"
