[OT] Regular Expression for Validator

[Darren Hill <dh...@724.com>]

I suck.

I'm trying to come up with a reg expr for a Canadian Postal Code
(ie. M6P 3G6 .. or .. M6P3G6 )

I've got ...

<constant name="zip" value="^([A-Za-z]\d[A-Za-z]( |-)\d[A-Za-z]\d)$" />

IS THIS NOT RIGHT?

Darren.

I hate dealing with regexps under JavaScript.  What I typically do is 
have to reference the JScript manual on MSDN every time I do something 
with them ...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/js56jsoriJscript.asp

Regexp syntax:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/js56jsgrpregexpsyntax.asp

Of course, you could also try:

www.irt.org - check out their JavaScript FAQ (scroll down a little)

Do you need to escape the space/- maybe?

( | -) to (\ |\-)     ???

It looks like you want to make it optional too:

( | -) to (\ |\-)?     ???
