I'm trying to set up SolidWorks PDM Standard and since there is no admin guide available for it yet and the EPDM guide is only available for \$1500 by taking the training I was hoping to get some help here.

The transition conditions in PDM for text are a bit confusing, I understand the "Text Equal to", "Text Not Equal to", "Text Contains" and "Text does not contain"

What I am trying to figure out is how to use the other options Text <, Text >, Text <=, Text>=, and "Text Compare".  What I am trying to do is check that text is in a spacific string format since the way the Document ID filed is applied as an attribute it is not possible to set a mask in the database.  Our document number format is ####-####-XXX and without the mask some people can get lazy leaving out the dashes or mistyping numbers.
