TOPIC: Regex for Canadian Postal Code

Regex for Canadian Postal Code 11 years 9 months ago #24091

Hi,

I was wondering if someone can help me with the canadian postal code?

The following works with normal php coding: ^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$

However, when I implement it within the rsforms regex syntax input - It doesn't work, can someone please provide direction or implement the "#" delimiters for me within the ^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$ code?

Thanks,

Jack

When you say it doesn't work, what happens? Are you getting some kind of error?

I got my regex working on http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ then tried it in rsforms-it didn't work either.
To fix it I had to add ~ to the start and the end of the regex statement. I can't remember why, something about escaping something.

~^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$~
