Subject: RE: [cam] Masks
Martin, Sorry! It was late last night and I was tired. Should have been U/U#/# #/#U/U The '/' prefix indicates that the following character is optional. So - postcodes like : TA1 4YA and W12 1N and W1 10NA those London central postcodes, will parse as valid in the mask. Does this work? Since '/' is usually an escape character indicator, but I don't think we're using it that way in masks. Thanks, DW. ======================================================== Message text written by INTERNET:martin.me.roberts@bt.com > David, You always change things just when I thought I had got it sorted. Firstly I do not understanf what the '/' means. Does it mean the letter before is mandatory? Secondly where did the 'N' come from. I thought it was '#'. The reason for the symbols was that for numbers we have 0 for mandatory # for optional (digits and whitespace and nothing) so I thought symbols for option letter might be approriate? Martin Roberts <
