HI Curt,

Thanks for the reply,

Basically here is the regex I used (I am not the best with regexes):

$pattern = "/^[0-9]?[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][A-Z]{1,3}/";

Here are how they look
W1W
W1AW
WA1W
AD4HZ
N9URK
WB6NOA
4N1UBG

I guess this would be better?

$pattern = "/^";
$pattern .= "([0-9][A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{3})|"; //4N1UBG
$pattern .= "([A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{1,3})|"; //N9URK, W1AW, W1W
$pattern .= "([A-Z]{2}[0-9][A-Z]{1,3})"; //WB6NOA, AD4HZ, WA1W
$pattern .= "/";

I am still trying to master regexes. Is there a better way to do this?

THanks,
