Title: Needs outer parens to avoid false positives
Name: Ralph Dosser
Date: 12/18/2008 12:59:19 PM
Comment:
The entire thing is OR'd between the 16 and 15 digit possibilities, but the begin string ^ only goes with the 16 digits and the end string $ only goes with the 15 digits. This goes away if you encase the whole thing in parens thus: ^(((4\d{3})|(5[1-5]\d{2})|(6011))-?\d{4}-?\d{4}-?\d{4}|3[4,7]\d{13})$ Without those, you can put any prefix you want on a valid 15-digit combo or any suffix you want on a valid 16-digit combo and it will read positive.

Hi, Excellent Code!!!! I'll appreciate if u can help me wit follwoing reg exprn: * String should contain 7 numbers or 7 digits consisting of 1 letter & 6 numbers in varying order, no spaces. For this one, reg expn = (\\d{7})|((\\d*[a-zA-Z]\\d*){7}) But this is also not working...... Please help!!!!! * String should contain 9 numbers or 8 alphanumeric characters i.e. 8 numbers/letters or 13 numbers This one looks really simple, but still (\\d{9})|(\\w{8})|(\\d{13}) is not working.....Please helpppp
