The JadeEditMask control must use some form of RegEx. Are you looking to validate user input ?

Otherwise Allistar's external function approach sounds like the way to go. You could even wrap it up and release it as a new JadeRegEx class for the rest of us to use.

jls.

I always use the lifetime modifer, for the very reasons you describe.

Although this may not be such a problem if you use a transaction agent or business object to create your persistent instances, it certainly makes things a lot easier when debugging or maintaining code.

If you are happy to use unpublished methods (i.e unsupported) then there are the following available for #JADE6.2.15

String::base64Decode
Binary::base64Encode
Binary::base64EncodeNoCrLf

There is current a new feature suggestion open with the JADE plant (#40324) to publish these methods.

regards ...

Absolutely, good idea.
