RegExp

[fmardani]

Hi, I am using a RegularExpression validator control in asp.net 2.0 Found an expression for validating uk postcodes (http://regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp\_id=1064). Not sure why the validator control on the form does not function correctly because the error messsage of the validator shows up whether or not the postcode is valid. There is a textbox called txtpostcode the controltovalidate property of the validator is set to txtpostcode. The errormessage is also set. I believe I have set up the validator correctly on the page and assigned it to the correct textbox on the webform. Any thoughts please? Thanks

Make sure that You are using Internet Explorer. Other browsers usually won't support .NET Validation Controls. Suseel Kumar

The RegularExressionValidator uses regular expressions without ^ and $ marking the start and end of the string. Try to remove those from the pattern. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi, I tried it. This does not make a difference.Thanks

Start with a simple part of the regular expression then, and add complexity once you got it to work. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

[a-zA-Z]{2}\d{1,2}\s\d{1}[a-zA-Z]{2}$ This will work for formats like SR4 2KL and SR2 74KL etc...Tell me if it works r not -lehya
