Expression - Zip Code validation

We have the field called Zip Code and this is a text field and 10 Chrs long.
Field 1: State
Field u2018Stateu2019 is a lookup field and the lookup table has Country, state code and state name.
Field 2: Zip Code
Zip Code = text field and the length is 10 chrs.
The ZIP Code Validation should be either NNNNN format (Block of 5 digits) for standard ZIP Code OR
NNNNN-NNNN format (Block of 5 and 4 digits) for ZIP+4 format
For example, if the country = US and state = IL then the first digit of the postal code field will be 6 then remaining 4 digits must be numeric for the standard 5 digit Zip code.
Can anybody help me to write the expression. Full points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Try this it should work,
For example, if the country = US and state = IL then the first digit of the postal code field will be 6 then remaining 4 digits must be numeric for the standard 5 digit Zip code.
I am assuming here State = IL indicates state code = IL which is field in your Lookup table. As you said your Lookup table having fields Country, state code and state name
IF(FIND(State.Country, "US") AND FIND(State.state code, "IL"), LEFT(Zip Code,1)=6 AND HAS_ALL_CHARS(RIGHT(Zip Code,4),0,9), FALSE)
otherwise if your State having IL value is simple text field in maintable then replace it as
IF(FIND(State.Country, "US") AND FIND(State, "IL"), LEFT(Zip Code,1)=6 AND HAS_ALL_CHARS(RIGHT(Zip Code,4),0,9), FALSE)
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if Useful......

Zip Code Validation

Hello Experts,
I would like to validate Zip Code on CRD1 table so that it should not contain any characters other than numbers.
When above condition is not met the users must be blocked from add or updating zipcode. Below is the procedure i worked on, but this logic not working, still taking characters. Please help me .
IF @transaction_type IN (N'A', N'U') AND @object_type = '2'
BEGIN
If Exists
(Select t0.ZipCode from CRD1 t0
Where t0.CardCode=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del and t0.ZipCode NOT LIKE '%[0-9]%')
begin
SET @error = 1
SET @error_message = N'Zip Code cannot contain Characters, Please enter a five digit number'
end
END

Hi Praneeth......
Try this.....
If @object_type='2' and @transaction_type in ('A','U')
BEGIN
If Exists (Select T0.City from [dbo].[CRD1] T0
Where (T0.ZipCode Like '%A%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%B%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%C%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%D%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%E%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%F%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%G%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%H%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%I%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%J%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%K%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%L%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%M%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%N%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%O%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%P%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%Q%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%R%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%S%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%T%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%U%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%V%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%W%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%W%'
or T0.ZipCode Like '%X%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%Y%' or T0.ZipCode Like '%Z%')
And T0.CardCode = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
BEGIN
Select @error = -1,
@error_message = 'Zip Code cannot contain Characters, Please enter a five digit number'
End
End
Hope this will help you....

Struts2 - Dynamic values in expression while doing validations using annota

Hi,
I am using Struts2. I am doing validations using annotations in action class.
I have many forms having same type of fields say zip code.
I am adding validations like below in each action class having zip code field
@Action(value = "/saveData")
@Validations(
     regexFields = {
          @RegexFieldValidator(fieldName = "databean.zipCode", expression = "^([1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}(-[0-9]{4})?)$", key = "errors.zipcode.format", message = "errors.zipcode.format")
public String saveData() throws Exception {
Now, in case if I need to change the expression for zip code validations, then I need to modify the same in each action class.
I would like to know if there is any way to use java variable or property for expression so that i only need to change at one place (value of variable) and all actions get modified.
I want something like below
private static final String ZIP_CODE_FORMAT_EXPRESSION = "^([1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}(-[0-9]{4})?)$"
@Action(value = "/saveData")
@Validations(
     regexFields = {
          @RegexFieldValidator(fieldName = "databean.zipCode", expression = "${ZIP_CODE_FORMAT_EXPRESSION}", key = "errors.zipcode.format", message = "errors.zipcode.format")
public String saveData() throws Exception {
Thanks
Krishan Babbar

Thanks
That is working..
I defined my expression as constant in my another file and it is working fine....
One more question i need to check space in expression but its not working... I tried following:
expression = "^([a-zA-Z0-9@_.-\\s]+)$" and expression = "^([a-zA-Z0-9@_.-\\\\s]+)$"

Pick random visitor by zip code

im looking to have, when a random user enteres their zip code
on my site, if they are "the chosen one" they win a coupon. i need
to have a list of zip codes, since this is in a loal are of about 6
towns. then if the zip code is in the list, randomly someone is
picked, can it also be once a month. ive looked at the zip code
validators and the random number generator in action script but im
not sure how to put them together.
thanks alot

sorry,
i have a site for local towns, where the local shops
advertise,
i would like to offer a coupon, to the random person who
visits.
on random person a month, when they visit the site, a pop up
will appear,
" you won a coupon for $X "
but, the person needs to enter a zip code because someone
from california cant use a coupon from connecticut.
In the documents, i found the zip code validator, and in AS i
could use a random number generator, if i am correct, but i am not
sure how to use them together so if some one enters their zip code,
and its with in the local area, they could be randomly chosen to
win a certificate.
thanks

Having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online

having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online even if it wil be shipped within u.s. only?

To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:
http://www.apple.com/qa/
Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

Problem attempting to validate a simple zip code

Surely I'm missing something obvious but I've defined the validation pattern 'text{99999-9999} | text{99999}' on a text field for zip code entry. If I enter '12345' it works OK but '12345-1234' generates a validation error.
I'm also trying to define a valiation pattern for email addresses such as....
0+'@'0+'.'0+
... and having no luck. It always generates an error.

Rob,
You could try the following JavaScript (which uses a 'regular expression' to define a validation pattern) on the *exit event of your e-mail address field. In this example the email adress 'email' is on the first page of the form which has been named 'Page_01'. The names on your form could well be different.
// Validate the email address.
var e_mail = new RegExp();
// Set the regular expression to look for an email address in general form.
e_mail.compile("^[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\@[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$","i");
// Test the rawValue of the current object to see if it fits the general form of an email address.
if (e_mail.test(email.rawValue) == false)
{xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a genuine E-mail Adress.","Invalid Information",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.Page_01.email");
Regular expressions can look pretty daunting, but are a very powerful JavaScript feature that can prove to be invaluable for setting up data validation criteria. Any JavaScript (or Jscript) reference book or on-line tutorial will have a section showing you how to build them.
Hope this helps,
John

Safari 2.0 zip code bug?

This is a problem I've started to notice on a bunch of webpages (including newegg.com) with Safari 2.0. Many times Safari will not let me enter my zip code into an HTML form field because it starts with a zero (like about half the zip codes in the U.S. northeast). Let us say my zip code is 02142 -- when I enter it in, Safair "autocorrects" it to "2142" after the control loses focus. Nothing seems to undo this, and I can't find any setting that fixes it. So the site I submit it to says, "Hey, that's not a valid zip code!" I've tried it with Firefox and Internet Explorer and neither seem to do this behavior (so I often have to leave whatever transaction I was trying to go through, open up Internet Explorer, and re-do the entire transaction -- all because Safari doesn't trust me to know what I want to type in).
The HTML code from newegg.com which is doing this: <input name="zipcode1" type="text" size="4" maxlength="5" value=""> So it's nothing in particular about the form coding that I can tell -- it looks like Safari is just assuming that because I'm typing in a number, I can't possibly want it to start with a zero. Which is just ridiculous in a large number of contexts.
Any way to turn this off? It is really getting irritating, and it's the sort of "application knowing what I want to do better than I do" idiocy which I think of being exclusively in the domain of Microsoft products. Which ironically don't seem to have this problem!
NOTE: I am not using an Autofill zip code. I am just trying to enter it in manually.

I can confirm this bug (isn't it irritating?). One solution is to use another browser; I've never had this problem in Firefox. Another would be to turn off AutoFill; even though you're not using an AutoFill entry, AutoFill seems to have this unfortunate effect on leading zeros entered manually.
Next time you run across a page that won't take your zip code, click on Safari/Report bugs to Apple and send a bug report. Maybe if enough of us on the East Coast complain, someone will fix it.

Zip Code errors

Hi there!
I tried buying a song off of ITunes today. The last time I purchased something was in early June.
However, when I tried, the login screen popped up and told me that "The zip code you provided does not match your bank's records."
When I log in and get my account info, the zip code is correct. I thought briefly that now they expect you to have those extra 4 digits on the end of the zip code, so I added them and tried again, but it then said zip codes have to be 5 numbers long.
So I've got no idea here. Yes, I know I can try another credit card, but there's no guarantee that would fix things and frankly, since all of my information remains the same (and certainly has since June, when I effortlessly made a purchase) I really shouldn't have to.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Thanks.

I have had the same problem now... but I think I know why for me anyways. On July 1, my zip code changed and my bank switched to the correct zip code. However many sites on the internet don't recognize my new zip code as being valid. When I plug in the new one it says my address doesn't appear to be in the US, but if I plug in the old one it says the address doesn't match bank records. So I'm going to have to call technical support and make sure they get the zip code correct, or just wait until they add the new zip code.
Hope this helps, but it doesn't sound like we're in the same boat, just same message.

Maps with 5-digit zip code boundaries

Hi,
I am trying to display zip-code level data in a map. Someone suggested that I should take a look at Oracle Application Express.
I find it meets most of my requirements. But there is one problem - the maps show 3-digit zip-code boundaries of US States.
However, I want to display data for 5-digit zipcode boundaries. Is there a map available for that?
Or is there a map application present with which I can integrate Apex to display data at 5-digit zipcode level with the boundaries already marked in the map?
Appreciate suggestions and assistance.
Thanks!

REGEX - find zip code in text

Hi experts!
I have to find the zip code (for germany) in a given text. I found 5 digits in my text, but my problem is to ignore numbers which consists of more than 5 digits!
My first try works for all cases but not for the last one.
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF REGEX '([0-9]{5})' IN ld_string SUBMATCHES ld_plz.
D-12345 Mainz -> should match 12345
D 12345 Mainz -> should match 12345
12345 Mainz -> should match 12345
12345Mainz -> should match 12345
Mainz D-12345 -> should match 12345
D-123 45 Mainz -> error because of the space between the numbers
D-12333345 Mainz -> error because only 5 digits are valid for a germany zip code; my REGEX does not work!
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,
curiosity persists.
After some playing around I reduced the pattern using Placeholder for any single digit \d. Then I noticed that the 5-digit-sequence will also match 5 digits out of 6, so i used \D Placeholder for any character other than a digit Then I don't know how to recognize (optional) line start or end as alternative to non-digit, so I just enclose the string to be checked into spaces - please suggest a more elegant solution.
My test form

CER 8.5 unable to put in Canada Zip code

Hi,
I've a client running CER 8.5 on VMWare. The System Locale is set to "United States".
Client is adding an ALI for Canada but the ZIP code and ZIP code extension are not taking the valid canadian Zip codes which are Alpha Numberic.
For example, one of the Valid Canadian Zip Code is: L6M2W1, when client tries to put it in, he gets the followoing message:
"Please enter a valid numeric value for Zip Code".
As per the CER 8.5 Administration guide, the Zip Code and Zip Code extension fields will take following values:
Zip Code ----- The postal zip code for the address. ---- You are limited to 5 characters.
Zip Code Extension --- The postal zip code "plus four" number. ---- You are limited to 4 digits.
The country Code and State are correctly set to CA/ON but still same error. Trying to update the existing ALIs are also throwing the same error.
I am not sure what version they were running earlier, but he did say he never had this issue in previous CER version.
Has someone else noticed it and is aware of any possible fix for it? Or client needs to change the Locale from "United States" to "Canada" to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Kapil

Thanks for your time replying.
I figured it out and asked the client to ignore it.
Not sure if he is going to like it, but what's Cisco's say on it?
If I get it somewhere documented clearly that it's meant only for United States locations, it'll make things clear.
Thanks,
Kapil

Reverse lookup by zip code

is there a way to enter the zip code (in address book) and have it automatically lookup and enter city and state into the proper filds?....... maybe even the plus four extension

This is a great example of a requirement for an Address Book plug-in. The difficulties with writing a reliable, functional one are several, however. I've toyed with the concept, but quickly became frustrated with the variables and the relatively unpredictable response to queries, even accurate, highly structured queries: the kind user are unlikely to perform.
First, you have the multiple city [both valid and invalid] response from the USPS for any given five-digit ZIP in inquiry. Which would you pick from a multiple response list? [Most queries result in a list in my experience, and not in a single matching record.] The first? Or, would you offer a user the choice to pick any of the valid cities on the list?
Second, since the ZIP plus 4 requires address matching by street number, street name and apartment, suite or other sub-unit, how would you handle the multiple page responses from USPS which are typical for 'almost complete' but not absolutely matching addresses in the database?
Frankly, it's much easier to simply query the information here for associated cities and states…
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp
…or, here, for ZIP plus 4 matches:
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp
You can then very quickly pick from a list of possible matches and enter the data in your Address Book records. Some processes are simply far easier to achieve on a non-automated, human basis than by running a script or application. This is probably one of those.

Off topic question - I need to know US zip code format

I would suggest it is obvious I do not live in the US.
When looking on the net everything I find show a US postal zip code as 5 long.
However I seem to remember seeing codes that were longer than 5 long.
Example 3241-76543 ?
rykk

Have a look at the ZIP faq on the USPS site ( http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zipfaq.htm ). It has information about zip codes, ZIP+4 (what you're referring to) and zip validation services.
