Question

can someone tell me the javascript regular expression for physical path like

1) User Should enter something like this in the textbox( c://Folder1/) . Maybe in d: or e:

2) But after that acceptable

a) (c://Folder1/Folder2/)

b) (d://Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/abc.txt)

e) (c://Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/abc.txt)

Answer 1

From the examples you’ve given, something like this should work:

[a-zA-Z]://(\w+/)+

ie:
[a-zA-Z] = a single letter (upper or lower case)
followed by
:// = the characters “://”
followed by:
(\w+/)+ = at least one “something/”.
“something/” defined as :
\w+ = at least one word character (ie any alphanumeric), followed by
/ = literal character “/”

Hope this helps – my syntax may be a little off as I’m not fully up to speed on the javascript variant for regex.

Edit: put regex in code tags so it is visible! And tidy up explanation.
