How do I use format controls? I want to make sure people write the telephone number correctly.
The PJ system uses Regular Expressions for format control rules. To find them in your system click here.

The PJ System offers some starter regexps, but you can create more, by creating a format. To find or build regexps click on one of the following links:

Video: Using Format Control
Here are some examples:
#\+?\d{0,3}?[-.\s]?\(?\d{3}\)?[-.\s]?\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{4}?#
Allows any of the following:
+1 333 333 3333
+44 333.333.3333
44 333-333-3333
+345 (333) 333.3333
333.333.3333
333-333-3333
(333) 333.3333
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#\(?\d{3}\)?[-.\s]?\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{4}?#
Allows any of the following:
333 333 3333
333.333.3333
333-333-3333
(333) 333.3333
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#\+\d{0,3}\s\(0\)\s\d{4}\s\d{6}#
Allows any of the following:
+123 (0) 1234 567890
+11 (0) 1234 567890
+1 (0) 1234 567890
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#\+44\s\(0\)\s\d{4}\s\d{6}#
Allows only the following:
+44 (0) 1234 567890
~~~~~~~~~~~
#^\d{2}$#
Forces user to write 2 numbers and only 2:
66
Incidentally, the ^ (Shift 6) means that the string must start here and $ means it must stop here.
