Dear All,
I am working on a module that validates the provided CSV data in a text
format, which must be in a predefined format.
We check for the :
1. Number of fields provided in the text file,
2. Text checks for max. length of the field & whether the field is
mandatory or optional
Example:
Text('Description', 100, optional=True)
Parameters: "Name of the field" => 'Description'
"Max length " => 100
"Optional" => 'True' (the field is not mandaory)
3. valid-text expressions,
Example:
ValidText('Minor', '[yYnN]')
Parameters:
name => field name
regex => the regular expression y/Y for Yes & n/N for No
Recently we are getting data, where, the name contains non-english
characters like: ' ATHUMANIù ', ' LUCIANA S. SENGïONGO '...etc
Using the Text function, these names are not validated as they contain
special characters or non-english characters (ï,ù). But the data is
correct.
Is there any function that can allow such special character's but not
numbers...?
Secondly, If I were to get the data in Russian text, are there any
(lingual) packages available so that i can use the the same module for
validation.
Such that I just have to import the package and the module can be used
for validating russian text or japanese text....
Regards,
Sonal.
