^(?:(?<Visa>4\d{3})|(?<Mastercard>5[1-5]\d{2})|(?<Discover>6011)|(?<DinersClub>(?:3[68]\d{2})|(?:30[0-5]\d))|(?<AmericanExpress>3[47]\d{2}))([ -]?)(?(DinersClub)(?:\d{6}\1\d{4})|(?(AmericanExpress)(?:\d{6}\1\d{5})|(?:\d{4}\1\d{4}\1\d{4})))$
Description
Updated on 7 Jun 2005 -- Matches major credit cards including: Visa (length 16, prefix 4); Mastercard (length 16, prefix 51-55); Diners Club/Carte Blanche (length 14, prefix 36, 38, or 300-305); Discover (length 16, prefix 6011); American Express (length 15, prefix 34 or 37). Saves the card type as a named group to facilitate further validation against a &quot;card type&quot; checkbox in a program. All 16 digit formats are grouped 4-4-4-4 with an optional hyphen or space between each group of 4 digits. The American Express format is grouped 4-6-5 with an optional hyphen or space between each group of digits. Formatting characters must be consistant, i.e. if two groups are separated by a hyphen, all groups must be separated by a hyphen for a match to occur.

Regular expressions are supported with most versin of GNU Unix tools, but I have yet to find one that will accept this expression. The error I get from most of them is "Invalid back reference" I've tried grep -e <stuff supplied above> <filename> as well as grep -e "<stuff supplied above>" <filename> and have had zero success.

I've tested in JS with IE 6 and it reports there's an error in the syntax.
