The mask would be [a-z][0-9][a-z][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]. Create the TMask with that string, and then pass your input string to the Matches method. It returns True if the input string matches the mask. You can also do it all in a single call to MatchesMask. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
