jQuery ValidationEngine and PO Box -


i using jquery , jquery validationengine site, , works charm. issue need add ability check (and dis-allow) p.o. box addresses. have looked around quite extensively , have not been able find regex validationengine use.

i did find regex works in javascript:

\b[p]*(ost)*\.*\s*[o|0]*(ffice)*\.*\s*b[o|0]x\b

but when move regex normal javascript function validationengine language file regex matches on everything, blank entry in text field.

the regex added jquery.validationengine-en.js follows:

"notpobox": {     "regex": /\b[p]*(ost)*\.*\s*[o|0]*(ffice)*\.*\s*b[o|0]x\b/,     "alerttext": "* p.o. box addresses not allowed shipping" },

and form element uses following:

<input class="validate[custom[notpobox]] text-input" type="text" id="ship_add1" name="ship_add2" value="" style="width:598px;" />

is there way can regex work within validationengine framework , match properly? have verified regex indeed work on own javascript within page can create function match , alert on matches follows:

function pochk() {     $("[id*='ship_add1']").blur(function() {         var pattern = new regexp('\\b[p]*(ost)*\\.*\\s*[o|0]*(ffice)*\\.*\\s*b[o|0]x\\b', 'i');         if ($("[id*='ship_add1']").val().match(pattern)) {         alert('we unable ship post office box.\nplease provide different shipping address.');         return false;     } });

i checked @ http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html found matches expected on wide variety of entries (p o box, po box, p.o. box, etc.)

any appreciated.

when define custom validation, regex test validate value matches expression , generate validation error if not.

the way have defined, notpobox passes when value is a po box value.

you need check opposite of match regex.

you using function , returning negated value of regex test():

"notpobox": {     "func": function (field, rules, i, options) {                 var ispobox = /\b[p]*(ost)*\.*\s*[o|0]*(ffice)*\.*\s*b[o|0]x\b/i;                 return !ispobox.test(field.val());      },      "alerttext": "* p.o. box addresses not allowed shipping" },

a working example in jsfiddle

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
