    module HelperMethods
      # Validates whether the value of the specified attribute is of the correct form, going by the regular expression provided.
      # You can require that the attribute matches the regular expression:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validates_format_of :email, :with => /\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\Z/i, :on => :create
      #   end
      #
      # Alternatively, you can require that the specified attribute does _not_ match the regular expression:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validates_format_of :email, :without => /NOSPAM/
      #   end
      #
      # You can also provide a proc or lambda which will determine the regular expression that will be used to validate the attribute
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     # Admin can have number as a first letter in their screen name
      #     validates_format_of :screen_name, :with => lambda{ |person| person.admin? ? /\A[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_\-]*\Z/i : /\A[a-z][a-z0-9_\-]*\Z/i }
      #   end
      #
      # Note: use <tt>\A</tt> and <tt>\Z</tt> to match the start and end of the string, <tt>^</tt> and <tt>$</tt> match the start/end of a line.
      #
      # You must pass either <tt>:with</tt> or <tt>:without</tt> as an option. In addition, both must be a regular expression
      # or a proc or lambda, or else an exception will be raised.
      #
      # Configuration options:
      # * <tt>:message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "is invalid").
      # * <tt>:allow_nil</tt> - If set to true, skips this validation if the attribute is +nil+ (default is +false+).
      # * <tt>:allow_blank</tt> - If set to true, skips this validation if the attribute is blank (default is +false+).
      # * <tt>:with</tt> - Regular expression that if the attribute matches will result in a successful validation.
      #   This can be provided as a proc or lambda returning regular expression which will be called at runtime.
      # * <tt>:without</tt> - Regular expression that if the attribute does not match will result in a successful validation.
      #   This can be provided as a proc or lambda returning regular expression which will be called at runtime.
      # * <tt>:on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active. Runs in all
      #   validation contexts by default (+nil+), other options are <tt>:create</tt>
      #   and <tt>:update</tt>.
      # * <tt>:if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>). The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * <tt>:unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   not occur (e.g. <tt>:unless => :skip_validation</tt>, or <tt>:unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }</tt>). The
      #   method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
