Hellow everyone...
i have to validate a my folderpath field...
could you people suggest any reqular expression to validate a valid
path...
that field should not accept input like “My Documents”
but should accept “c:\Backup”
You're going to have to be a little more precise: what is it that you
are trying to ensure? No spaces, no special characters, absolute paths
only, something else ? Also what about platforms where paths are
delimited in different ways ? What will you be doing with this path ?
in that folder path location i m going to save files.
On the client side? For security reasons, Web applications don't have
direct access to the client-side filesystem. You'll have to give the
client a download link and let the browser program take care of saving
it
OTOH, if this is on the server side, you can construct the path in a way
that you know will be valid.
In either case, there is *no point* to the validation you're trying to
do.
and i m on windows ...
Doesn't mean your clients will be, so you can't only accept
Windows-style paths!
Really, there's no validation that can do what you want here.
