How to specify a jquery inputmask that is either a number or a fixed string?

The goal is for the user to input a 9 digit number or a string with the value "YOUR NAME". Something like:



 <input type="text"

        data-inputmask="'mask': '(999999999)|(YOUR NAME)'">


I know that doesn't work, but I've tried a lot of different variations and none work.



Is there a way to do this with jquery inputmask?

          The secret is you need to escape constant values. As in:



          data-inputmask="'mask': '(999999999)|(\Y\O\U\R\ \N\A\M\E)','rightAlign':false"

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

                    Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

                    1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
