Filtering Wrong Inputs

Nephos uses Regular Expressions to validate entries for channels, jobs and share entities. The patterns are listed below, any violation of the below patterns, prompts the user to enter the particular data field again.

• email: "[^@\s][\w\d._+][^\s]+@[\w\d.]+.[\w\d]"
• ip: "[^\s]+:[\d]+"
• country_code: "[a-zA-Z ]+"
• language: "[a-zA-Z ]+"
• timezone: "[a-zA-Z]"
• start_time: "\d{2}:\d{2}"
• duration: "\d+"
• repetition: "[01]{7}"

NOTE: You can execute these Reg-Ex patterns here and check if your entry qualifies.
