Use a Regular Expression

In this specific instance, we had a need for a function to validate a InventBatchId created by a 3PL to be validated before we created the batch in AX on their behalf. This function also serves an example of how to do a regular expression in AX.

 

Static Server boolean validateInventBatchId(InventBatchId _inventBatchId)
{
    Str MatchInventBatchIdPattern = @"^[0-9]{6}+\-[a-zA-Z]{1}+[0-9]{5}$";
    System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match myMatch;
    ;

    myMatch = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex::Match(_inventBatchId, MatchInventBatchIdPattern);
    return(myMatch.get_Success());
}
