Hi,

It will return true/false depending on the result.

contains(field1, field2)

will show true if field1 contains the value specified in field2, otherwise it will display false.

hi 

use contains(field1, field2) as suggested by Chris. 

Take one hidden field in form & set its value to anything let's say 1. 

And add validation rule if hidden field value is 1 then show message that pattern match else dose not match.

thanks
