Could I have some regexp help? :)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 16.2012

I want to have a few functions going:

1) I would like it so that phone numbers have to be entered in the (00000) 000000 format
2)I would like it so that the Full Name and Company Name text boxes can have multiple words and “-” to be entered into them
3) And I would like it so that text in the address box has to start off with a number and then any words are allowed afterwards ?

Any help would be appreciated! ?

@WolfShadeMar 16.2012 — The RegEx masks that you are looking for seem fairly straight-forward. I have not tested any of these.

A left-parenthesis, five digits, right-parenthesis, a space, followed by six digits:
[CODE]
phoneMask = /^(d{5}) d{6}$/;
[/CODE]
Name and Company should allow ONLY letters, spaces, and hyphens:
[CODE]
nameMask = /^[ a-z-]$/i;
[/CODE]
Address MUST start with a number, then any words:
[CODE]
addressMask = /^[1-9][0-9]{0,7} [ a-z]$/i; // allows up to 8 digits at start of string and cannot begin with 0
[/CODE]

@007JulienMar 17.2012 — To be a little less rigorous than the machine and to get immediately to the point, this kind of test can be proposed for the Phone number...

[CODE]<label >Phone number <input value="" onblur="if ((t=this.value.replace(/D/g,'')).length!=11) alert('Please, the number has not 11 digits !');else this.value=t.replace(/(d{5})(d{6})/,'($1) $2')"> (11 digits) </label>[/CODE]Then the user can write is number with separator, brackets or other signs. If he make a mistake, I will probably modify the digits by preserving the format...

For the address, we have in France bis or ter numbers and other Post office box !

Could the name one be tweaked so that only 2 words are allowed (e.g. John Smith?) ?

@007JulienMar 19.2012 — To allow only two words, it enough to allow one (or more to reduce at one ?) space between two words composed with letters, hyphens and perhaps apostrophe (for John O'Neil).

Sure. I guess do one for company and one for personal name.

[CODE]
personNameMask = /^[a-z]{1}[a-z-] [a-z]{1}[a-z-]$/i;
companyNameMask = /^[ a-z-]$/i;
[/CODE]

Could the addressMask be tweaked so that I can have addresses such as 123 Fake Street? At the moment, I can't seem to do that :/

@JustWhateverMar 19.2012 — This link may help. It lets you type in your regex and then type in what you want to test to see if it works.

Yeah, it seems that the regexp given doesn't work :/
