validation - mask help

["Peng, Meimin" <mp...@atxg.com>]

Hi, 
Please help.
I want to use strut's validation to validate a form field called number.
This field allows to input text, number and -.

The code bellows right now is only to validate text and number without
space.
How can I make it work with '-'?
Thanks.

        <form name="NumEditForm">
            <field
                property="value"
                depends="mask">
                <msg name="mask"
                    key="errors.maskmsg"/>
                <arg0 key="errors.maskmsg.form.num.edit.value"/>
                <var>
                    <var-name>mask</var-name>
                    <var-value>^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$</var-value>
                </var>
           </field>           
        </form>

What about <var-value>^-?[0-9a-zA-Z]+$</var-value>
That will allow you to enter any positive or negative hexadecimal number.

If you want to allow any of the following:

a--
612-6a-3461
--bc391

you'll need to do something different.
