    What is the format of zip-codes you want to match?

    Hey,

    Have you checked out RegExLib? They have a whole library or regular expressions that you can use!

    You can find a link to the website in my signature.

    For instance:

    US Zip Code:
    http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=us...=-1&m=-1&ps=20

    Canada Zip Code:
    http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=ca...=-1&m=-1&ps=20

    Hope that helps!!

    Gary

    The expression for Canadian Postal Codes in the above link is incorrect. The letters D, F, I, O, Q, or U are not used.

    Hey,

    I am sure the Regular Expression can be tweaked to the OP liking, but it would give him somewhere to start.

    Re: RegEx Us/Canada/Mexico Zip Codes



    This is my issue...i can find one or the other...but i can't find a single expression that will do both...and i am terrible at trying to get them to work (it is not my strong point).

    Hey,

    Why not just have two regular expressions? They are essentially doing two separate checks, so I don't see why doing two is an issue.
