search for: field_must_break

...wbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this: validates_format_of :field_must_break, :with => /\n/ validates_format_of :field_must_not_break, :with => /^[^\n]$/ The second one fails with data that correctly have no \n linefeed in them. How do I - I mean "they" - negate a regexp? -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!! --~--~-------...
