Thanks Marnen. I stand corrected. However, just to clarify, are you saying that Regexp is still the best approach? Given that what you're saying is true, which I'm sure it is, then I could imagine that performing this validation without using Regexp would be even more complex and require quite a bit more code. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
