Primefaces InputMask optional digits - jsf

Question

I'm working on a small Project using Primefaces.
I'm trying to display value from my database with special formation
I store a String in my database which Looks like this 40;99;1;0;0;12
These are six different numbers seperated with a ;and they have a range between 0-99.
I want to display this value in an InputMask to make sure that the user doesn't forget the ;.
Now I have a problem with the format.
I'm using this
<p:inputMask id="myID" placeholder="Value" value="#{myClass.value}" mask="9?9;99;99;99;99;99"/>
I'm trying to say that the mask contains six "fields" for a number input and each field can contain a number between 1-99.
The problem is if the user writes the input as this 30;10;0_;0_;0_;4_Primefaces converts it to 30;10;00;04;__;_
Is there a good way to let the mask know that it can be a number with one or two digits?
Or is there a way to say, if input has just one digit put a 0 first

Answer 1

I dont know if this solution fits your needs, but you can define a custom mask
$.mask.definitions['h'] = "[0-9]{0,1}";
$("#form\\:your_input_mask_id").mask("hh;hh;hh;hh;hh;hh");
in your document.ready function. This will leave the _ character as is, but I guess you can handle it in your code when splitting the string and handling each part. I've put form\: because you generally put these inputs inside a form with id form. Change accordingly!
This has the downside though, that if you dont enter something, it will also validate, regardless of not being between 1 and 99.
