| Mar 21, 2017 at 21:39 | comment | added | user39944 | You were right about the "/"'s. However the formula fields do support regex. Be weary of the support. As they had passed this case along to different reps one told me they wouldn't support it and tried to close my case. Another rep was very helpful. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 16:06 | comment | added | user39944 | Salesforce has documentation on regex which seems to elude that it can be used in formulas. developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008vYrIAI. I wrapped it as such as since I had read: "Regular expression syntax is based on Java Platform SE 6 syntax. However, backslash characters () must be changed to double backslashes (\) because backslash is an escape character in Salesforce.". However, you may be right. I have a case with Salesforce right now so I'll follow up with their input. Thanks | |
