Delete Whitespace

[gum1982]

 

Can someone please help me.

 

Ive done this regular expression which works out as any code that starts with two letters and ends with four numbers.

 

i.e as1233

 

Im not very good with regular expressions all i want is it to allow spaces because the company has hand out the code to every as two letters SPACE and ends with four numbers.

 

ie as 1233

 

Here my regular expression

("^[[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{4}]$") 

 

 

 

i see that \s strips whitespace but dont now how to implement this.

 

Any help Please?

\s doesn't strip white space. \s matches any whitespace character, eg a space, newline, tab etc.

 

To match a space add \s before [0-9] eg

("^[[a-zA-Z]{2}\s[0-9]{4}]$")

Alternatively you could just add a space instead

("^[[a-zA-Z]{2} [0-9]{4}]$")

thanks for the reply

 

So if i add this ("^[[a-zA-Z]{2}\s[0-9]{4}]$")

 

does this mean that both possible codes would work?

 

ie as1233 or as 1233

Add a ? after \s

 

That way it will match either as1233 or as 1233
