Something like this
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('specification[][name]', 'lang:project_load_recipient', 'required|min_length[1000]');or this
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('specification[(:num)][name]', 'lang:project_load_recipient', 'required|min_length[1000]');form_validation with assoc arrays - El Forum - 06-23-2009

Is this not what you're after?
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules($specification[$num]['name'], 'lang:project_load_recipient', 'required|min_length[1000]');form_validation with assoc arrays - El Forum - 06-23-2009

In my controller I don't know the count of specifications and their ID's.

Then how can you validate something when you don't know what to validate it against? That doesn't make sense to me.

I know that my input array has structure specification[(:num)][name], where name - field, (:num) - numeric key.
I want to work with validation like I work with route's rules
Code:
$route['user/(:num)/edit'] = "user/edit/index/$1";
$route['user/(:num)/save'] = "user/edit/save/$1";form_validation with assoc arrays - El Forum - 06-24-2009

OK, now I think I understand better. So the array you originally posted isn't something you want to compare to, it's actually the data you want to validate.
I don't think validation is the problem, since it should be simple enough to create a custom validation callback that can loop through the array and validate each part. I think the main issue you're going to experience is giving feedback to the user. I don't think you'll be able to do this easily without overriding the validation class, or creating your own.
