Hello Smile

sorry I seem to be posting a lot on the forum these last few days...but i'm nust sure how to do this:
I need a validation to validate that ITEM_A follows these rules
- Starts with 'CH20'
- The 5th character is either A, V or G
- The last 5 are numbers
- It is 10 characters long

I've got the 10 characters long bit...its just the others...I'm not sure how to specify the 5th character...is that even possible?

thanks

By far the simplest way would be to use regular expression. So - create a validation whose type is "Regular expression" and let ITEM_A be validated by the following regular expression:
^CH20(A|V|G)[[:digit:]]{5}$
