BF has this neat RegEx for UK post codes on his site http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=996 [A-Z]{1,2}\d[A-Z\d]? \d[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}
which works great (the page also describes the exact pattern permitted). Problem is that it also permits post codes like "W3NEREF8 6TXSDF", because within the string it can find at least one sequence specified in the RegEx. Any ideas how you could change the RegEx so that it also prevents the string above from passing the validation? I'm guessing you'd start by adding code that prohibits any other characters before the start of it and any other characters after the end of it, but how do you write "don't allow any of anything"? -- Aidan Whitehall <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental Ltd +44 (0)1695 51775 Queen's Awards Winner 2003 <http://www.fairbanks.co.uk/go/awards> Fairbanks uses anti-spam filtering.
