validate name & dates

Hi All,

Thank you,

Hi Hariharan,

You can use below methods to validate the String: isAlpha(), isAlphaSpace(), isAlphanumeric(), isAlphanumericSpace()
For more information : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_string.htm
  
// String validation

String str = '1234';

System.debug('=>  '+str.isAlpha());
System.debug('=>  '+str.isAlphanumeric());
System.debug('=>  '+str.isAlphanumericSpace());


//Date validation
for (SObjectName obj: trigger.new) {
    String daveValue = '22012-13-12';
    Date dt = null;
    try{
      dt = Date.valueOf(daveValue);
    } Catch (Exceptoion eX){
      obj.addError(eX.getMessage());
    }
}

Thanks,
Sivasankar
