I am having a little bit trouble with the following. I have multiple form fields starting with "vendorName-" ending with a number. I would like to add a rule to the validate for these fields but I am not sure how to.
Here is what I have so far:

$().ready(function() {
$.validator.addMethod(
"findRegex",
function(value, element) {
return /^.+::[1-9]\d{0,11}$/.test(value);
},
"Please check your input."
);
$('#myForm').validate({
submitHandler: function(form){
$("#formSub").html('<table style="font-size:11px; color:#333;"><tr><td><img border="0" src="images/ajax-loader.gif"/></td><td>Saving! Please wait...</td></table>');
var options = {
success: showResponse,
url:'save.cfm'
};
$('#myForm').ajaxSubmit(options);
return false;
}
});
showResponse = function(responseText, statusText) {
$("#formSub").html(responseText);
}
$(":input[name^='vendorName-']").rules("add", { findRegex: true }); // $('input[name^=vendorName]').
});
