Where there is a will, there is a way with Storyline. I recently did something like this with a Certification Test I developed for a Client. Simply setup a text field and then setup a blank variable to "hold" the value that is typed in. Then setup a trigger, or set of triggers to "check" the values entered, along with a series of Layers. I had to create a series of Trigger Conditions to make it all work right.
I agree with Phil, JavaScript is the way to go here. A while back, I had done an example that uses the match() method to check a Storyline text entry for keywords, like 'good', 'creative', 'awesome'; see here: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl71_SL/TEBContains/ . You can this method and other methods and properties, like Length to build your validation.
Hi Michael! I realize this thread is 3 years old, but I love your example and want to do something similar. Do you have the Storyline file and would you be willing to share it by chance?
Well, the good news is that Michael is a very active participant in our forums - but 3 years is still a while back :)

You would need to validate that with Javascript
