Verify Canadian Postal Code

Posted 12 June 2012 - 07:20 PM

Hello friends,

I'm using VB 6.0 and I'm trying to verify a Canadian postal code in a regular text box (with a msgbox). Canadian postal code format is like A1B 2C3 (Letter,Number,Letter,Number,Letter,Number). Actually the space between these parts is not important to me now. Could anybody help me on this??

Thanks
Sham... :D

Check out Regular Expressions if you're up to it. That's the most flexible way to verify a string format.

Sure. Google "vb6 regular expression example". (Did I really have to tell you that?)
