Hi,

We can use regular expression exactly same as we are using in Java. For eg:  
Create a regular expression that accepts 10 digit numeric characters starting with 7, 8 or 9 only.  
So, regular expression for this would be : [789][0-9]{9}.

Now you just need to mention this regular expression in “data validator” step \>\> in “Regular expression expected to match” field.

Thank you!
