Sorry, I have now fixed it ( It was looking me straight in the face),
I forgot to remove the escape character, from the white space match,
it should be reading:
Reg.SearchPattern = "^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Z]?\s+[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]
{2}$"
Sorry to waste anyones time.

Hi,
I'm have a small problem trying to validate a UK Postcode, I've
ported over several regex searches
from some of my PHP scripts, to validate things like e-mail
addresses, etc..
But for some reason I'm unable to get my UK Postcode validation to
work.
// Declare and Initialize the variables to use.
Dim Reg as New RegEx
Dim FoundMatch as New RegExMatch
// UK Post Code search pattern
Reg.SearchPattern = "^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Z]?\\s+[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-
UW-Z]{2}$"
// Check for a match on Post Code
FoundMatch = Reg.Search( "GL2 4XR" )
// Check to see if we have found a match
if ( FoundMatch <> nil ) then
MsgBox "Match"
Else
MsgBox "No Match"
End If
Could anyone advise me where I may be going wrong.
Thanks
Mark
