Element Javascript Regex /./ onload

[ontarget]

Hi I am trying to hide a password field using javascript regex
My current expression is

on load : When element "password" regex "/.+/", hide element "sch_profiles.password"

I have also tried

on load : When element "password" regex "/[a-z]+/", hide element "sch_profiles.password"

and

/^[0-9A-Za-z]+$/

and

/./

None of these expressions work and my element sch_profiles.password is still showing!!!
If i try another expression e.g
>=0 and the password is e.g 123456 then the sch_profiles.password does hide so it seems my regex expression is not working
Any pointers would be very gladly received!

Thanks Hugh,
Forgot to mention I'm running Fabrik 3.4.1 and J3.4.8

Ah, I see the problem. We put // around what you enter, so putting // around your regex breaks it.

I've tweaked the code to look for them, and only wrap your regex in them if they aren't there. That way you can use modifiers like /foo/i.

I also found a tricky issue with backslashes which I still haven't managed to sort out, so atm you can use stuff like \s or \d, etc.

Anyway ... quick fix, remove the //s/. Update from github to get the code which will optionally allow them.

Hi Hugh thanks to clarify:
If i update from Git https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/bl...4267/components/com_fabrik/models/element.php

I can use //
e.g

/^[0-9A-Za-z]+$/

Would this be the best regex expression to look for any character e.g like a password?

If you just strip the / off the start and end you can do it without updating.

So if all you want to test for is "not empty", I think a "not regex" of .+ would do it.

Thanks Hugh
I updated from github
I tried the regex commands on the element "password" as directed (tried with and without //) unfortunatley still no effect on the field - can you get it working on your end?

on load : When element "password" not regex ".+", hide element "sch_profiles.password"

and

on load : When element "password" not regex "/.+/", hide element "sch_profiles.password"

Sorry, don't know why I said "not regex". Just regex.

yes, it works for me.
