Hello,
I am looking to create a validation for a text entry. It is always 8 characters long, starting with a letter. However, it will either be one of the following:
I tried a few options, but none seemed to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
+17
^[A-Za-z]{1}[0-9]{7}$|^[A-Za-z]{2}[0-9]{6}$|^[A-Za-z]{3}[0-9]{5}$|^[A-Za-z]{4}[0-9]{4}$
Some explanation:
- `^[A-Za-z]{1}[0-9]{7}$` matches a string with 1 letter followed by 7 digits.
- `^[A-Za-z]{2}[0-9]{6}$` matches a string with 2 letters followed by 6 digits.
- `^[A-Za-z]{3}[0-9]{5}$` matches a string with 3 letters followed by 5 digits.
- `^[A-Za-z]{4}[0-9]{4}$` matches a string with 4 letters followed by 4 digits.
- The `|` operator denotes an OR condition, allowing any one of the four patterns to match.

Thank you for this! My testing is showing this worked. I really appreciate you explaining it. I was able to adapt it from your explanation to fix another one that was causing some issues!
