I would like to allow a field in a form I have to allow only file names to be accepted. File names looks like this:
431714620407606949.jpg
18 digits [dot] jpg/gif/ico/png/tiff
Also I would like the field to accept multiple file name entries, so I want it to be like this:
431714620407606949.jpg,431714620407674859.jpg,837593620407606949.jpg
This should do it: http://regexr.com?353i8 (/([\d]{18}\.)(jpg|png|gif)/g
)
This site will help you with your regex'
The following will match exactly one of those filenames:
/^\d{18}\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff)$/
That is:
^ beginning of string
\d{18} 18 digits
\. a literal .
(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff) one of those extensions
$ end of string
To match more with commas in between:
/^\d{18}\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff)(,\d{18}\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff))*$/
That is, the same pattern I already explained in detail, followed by zero or more occurrences of a comma plus the same pattern.
If you want to match upper- or lowercase file extensions add the i
flag to the end:
/^\d{18}\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff)(,\d{18}\.(jpg|gif|ico|png|tiff))*$/i
