Question

Validating a tridion TCM ID using Regex on javascript, looks quiet simple but unfortunately I failed to do this.

I have attempted all the possible ways to validate a tcm id.

Below is the last tried regex:-

(tcm:(\d)+-(\d)+(-16|-4|-64))\W

Here, TCM ID can be component or SG or Page.

Valid tcm id’s are

1. tcm:123-5678-4
2. tcm:123-5678-64
3. tcm:123-5678-16
4. tcm:123-5678

Please suggest the best regex to validate a tcm id.

Answer 1

Try:

/^tcm:\d{3}-\d{4}(?:-16|-4|-64)?$/
