Title: Social Security Number expression
Name: Passemails

Comment:
Hi Michael Ash I am currently using the expression for ssn /// Validates the format of the SSN provided using the regular expression pattern /// Either /// first character - 0 to 6 /// next two characters - 0 to 9 /// or /// first character is 7 /// and either /// second character is 0 to 6 /// third character is 0 to 9 /// or /// second character is 7 /// third character is either 0, 1, or 2 /// fourth and fifth characters cannot be SPACE and DASH combination /// fourth and fifth characters cannot be 00 /// fourth character is 0 to 9 /// fifth character is 0 to 9 /// sixth character is 0 to 9 /// seventh character is 0 to 9 /// eighth character is 0 to 9 /// ninth character is 0 to 9 Regex(@"^([0- 6]\d{2}|7([0-6]\d|7[012]))([ -]?)(?!00)\d\d\3\d{4}$") Now I want to have expression to validate the ssn with following condition. 1. Cannot use or accept "666" in positions 1-3 2. Cannot use or accept "000" in positions 1-3 3. Cannot use or accept "00" in positions 4-5 4. Cannot use or accept "0000" in positions 6-9 5. If SSN begins with "9" ignore all other edits. I know my expression will do this. But except the above condition other pattern should match. Say ,first digit should accept 8

There’s been <a href="http://www.pick-cheapjerseys.com/ ">CheapJerseys.com</a> considerable chatter, but zero reports, that the Broncos would be a possible destination for Maurice Jones-Drew if the Jacksonville running back were put on the trading block. The <a href="http://www.pick-cheapjerseys.com/ ">Cheap Jerseys</a> speculation no doubt has something to do with the fact Jones-Drew’s former coach in Jacksonville, Jack Del Rio, is now the <a href="http://www.pick-cheapjerseys.com/ ">Cheap Jerseys USA</a> Broncos’ defensive coordinator. At this point, the Broncos would not be in play. They like the potential crash-n-dash tailback tandem they have in Willis McGahee and Ronnie Hillman, provided Hillman can get his nagging hamstring healed. Together, McGahee and Hillman will make $3.08 million this year. Jones-Drew is protesting his contract that pays him a $4.45 million this year. Baltimore just gave Ray Rice a contract extension that pays him $17 million this year and $25 million in the next two years so Jones-Drew has the right to feel slighted. But it would be difficult for the Broncos to satisfy him. Consider the Broncos are already paying a combined $53 million of their $120 million cash-to-cap budget this year to four players: Peyton Manning ($18 million), Elvis Dumervil ($14 million), Champ Bailey ($10.5 million) and Von Miller ($10.5 million). That’s 44 percent of the team’s 61-man (including practice squad) payroll. The team is also hoping to sign left tackle Ryan Clady after this season to a $10 million a year deal.

The <a href="http://www.6pmsjerseys.com/ ">Cheap Jerseys</a> best of that bunch I listed above was <a href="http://www.6pmsjerseys.com/ ">Cheap Jerseys USA</a> Darrent Williams, who helped Bailey have two of his best seasons in 2005 and 2006. Bailey had 18 interceptions in those two years. Williams was murdered on Jan. 1, 2007 in arguably the most tragic incident in team history For <a href="http://www.6pmsjerseys.com/ ">Cheap Authentic Jerseys</a>. Andre Goodman started 40 games at right corner over the last three years but was released this spring. The Broncos signed 26-year-old Tracy Porter and are hoping that Porter will be an upgrade. “My goal is to stop them from throwing to my side, just like Champ’s is to stop them from throwing to the other side. They’ll have to find another way to get it to the receivers – that’s the goal,” Porter said. “If I wasn’t up for that challenge, knowing that Champ is on the other side, I could have easily signed somewhere else.” So, I ask you, Broncos fans, what are your expectations for Porter? Do you think he’s an upgrade over Goodman? What is your interception prediction for the Broncos’ secondary this year?

Michael, would it be possible with this RegEx (or another SSN filter) to modify it to exclude exactly ONE number that I specify? Like, for instance, 123456789.

Title: An update for the benefit of DTSearch use
Name: Don Turnblade
Date: 11/3/2008 12:52:25 PM
Comment:
DTSearch of all files on a files system may not begin and end at nice field boundaries. The following is an update inspired by Michael's work that may be useful that limits the string found to 9 digits by requiring a non-number terminator place. Also, by using non-number field separators, differing user habits in number separators are accounted for. Below is a change and a description of its workings: (?!000)([0-6]\d{2}|7([0-6]\d|7[012]))([^0-9]{1,1}?)(?!00)\d{2}\3(?!0000)\d{4}[^0-9]{1,1} First 3 digits Not 000: ?!000 # Capture results in Buffer 0 Could Be 0##, 1##, 2##, 3##, 4##, 5##, 6##: [0-6]\d{2} # Capture results in Buffer 1 Could Be 70#, 71#, 72#, 73#, 74#, 75#, 76#: 7[0-6]\d # Capture results in Buffer 1 & 2 Could Be 770, 771, 772: 77[012] # Capture results in Buffer 1 & 2 Separator: Not a number, 1 place long or empty: [^0-9]{1,1}? # Capture results in Buffer 3 Next Two digits: Not 00: ?!00 Could be ## \d{2} Separator Reuse Separator found in Buffer 3: \3 Next 4 digits: Not 0000 ?!0000 Could be #### \d{4} Terminating item is not a number Similar to separator but could be different [^0-9]{1,1} This allows for open regular expression searches across file contents where no field begin and end requirement is certain. Using this, allows for finding inappropriate files that hold SSN across file servers. I hope this helps.

I don't remember if I was trying to allow there to be no separator between group but your suggestion brought a very strange bug to my attention. The original pattern seen here ^(?!000)([0-6]\d{2}|7([0-6]\d|7[012]))([ -])?(?!00)\d\d\3(?!0000)\d{4}$ Would match 123456789 in Javascpirt but not in .Net. Very odd. Anyway Thanks for the suggestion

Slight nit-picky revision suggestion for your Description: second sentence should read "Matches the patterns AAA-GG-SSSS or AAA GG SSSS or AAAGGSSSS.", since space or hyphen are optional.

The following areas are classified as "New areas allocated, but not yet issued" 691-699 756-763 752-755 750-751 So 750-763 and 691-699 *could* be valid some day - but who knows when. I wouldn't validate them until they are being assigned.


Title: Very good but could be better
Name: JP Honeywell

Comment:
According to the regex Jerry did http://www.regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=539 there are some areas other than 773 and above which are also invalid. As of 6/1/2004 and according to http://www.ssa.gov/foia/highgroup.htm and http://www.ssa.gov/foia/stateweb.html, those invalid areas are 588 666 691-699 and 734-763 So I came up with this to update Michael's fine work above. ^(?!000)(?!588)(?!666)(?!69[1-9])(?!73[4-9]|7[4-5]\d|76[0123])([0-6]\d{2}|7([0-6]\d|7[012]))([ -])?(?!00)\d\d\3(?!0000)\d{4}$ Maybe it could be more tidy - I don't know. But it seems to test out ok. Additionally, Issuance of Area numbers 700-728 to railroad employees was discontinued July 1, 1963 so anyone younger than 41 (and probably really 57 [41+16]) should not have a SSN beginning with 700-728. I'm not going to validate that, I don't think.


Title: A very good ssn regex
Name: JP Honeywell
Date: 5/25/2004 2:35:14 PM
Comment:
I had created a functionally identical expression that was much bulkier after reading the cspr.org (and before finding www.regexlib.com). Once I saw this I scrapped mine. This regex WILL need to be changed in a few years when SSNs beginning with 773 are issued. But until then this is a good solution. That said, it's not a perfect solution. It is possible to enter invalid SSNs because of the nutty nature of the number assignment scheme. However, making a perfect SSN regex is virtually impossible since the -GG- values are assigned first with odd numbers, 01 to 09, then even numbers, 10 to 98, then even numbers, 02 to 08, and finally odd numbers, 11 to 99. And since those change much faster than the AAA- values it'd be a real bear to stay on top of. Excellent job, Michael.
