Hello. Can you please specify the exact expression for the pxContainsViaRegex function? I need to validate the string property Client.FullName text without any numbers: [0-9] but missing some symbol or its place

Hello @AnnaG2838 I've changed your Pega Academy post to be a product question as you appear to be asking for documentation about that validation expression.
A quick Google search brings up several examples which should help you further.
Below article has Examples of Pega 7 String Manipulation with Expressions and Functions
See section 'Substring Search'.
- String.pxContainsViaRegex is used to search for the occurrence of a given substring within a string using a regular expression. For details on regular expressions, see the java.util.regex.Pattern class documentation.
- In this example, a regular expression, \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}, is used to search for 10-digit phone numbers in a given String. Note that the \ character needs to be escaped as per Java syntax, using \\.
@String.pxContainsViaRegex("phone=345-444-0001|name=smith", "\\d{3}-\\d{3}-\\d{4}", true)
(returns true)
