## Basic Masks

Basic input masks use symbols to create the mask.

- `9`: Numeric
- `a`: Alphabetical
- `A`: Alphabetical (forces uppercase)
- `*`: Alphanumeric
- `&`: Alphanumeric (forces uppercase)

**Optional Characters**

`[]`: Example `(99) 9999[9]-9999)` which allows (99) 99999-9999 or (99) 9999-9999.

**Dyanmic**

`{n}`: n Repeats; Example `aa-9{4}` which allows AA-9999.

`{n,m}`: From n to m Repeats; Example `aa-9{1,3}` which allows AA-9, AA-99, and AA-999.

**Alternator (OR statement)**

`|`: Example `a|9` which allows A or 9.

## Date / Time

`date:**Your Date Mask**`

Example: `dd/mm/yyyy` which allows `09/29/17`.

- `d`: Day of the month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit days.
- `dd`: Day of the month as digits; leading zero for single-digit days.
- `ddd`: Day of the week as a three-letter abbreviation.
- `dddd`: Day of the week as its full name.
- `m`: Month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit months.
- `mm`: Month as digits; leading zero for single-digit months.
- `mmm`: Month as a three-letter abbreviation.
- `mmmm`: Month as its full name.

- `hhh`: Hours; no limit
- `H`: Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
- `HH`: Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
- `HHH`: Hours; no limit
- `M`: Minutes; no leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase M unlike CF timeFormat's m to avoid conflict with months.
- `MM`: Minutes; leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase MM unlike CF timeFormat's mm to avoid conflict with months.
- `s`: Seconds; no leading zero for single-digit seconds.
- `ss`: Seconds; leading zero for single-digit seconds.

- `T`: Single-character time marker string: A or P.
- `TT`: Two-character time marker string: AM or PM.
- `Z`: US timezone abbreviation, e.g. EST or MDT. With non-US timezones or in the Opera browser, the GMT/UTC offset is returned, e.g. GMT-0500
- `o`: GMT/UTC timezone offset, e.g. -0500 or +0230.
- `S`: The date's ordinal suffix (st, nd, rd, or th). Works well with d.

Note: not all regex is supported. When using shorthands be aware that you need to double escape.
