reg exp help needed

6 New Member
I want to validate the postal codes for 15 different countries. For
this I have written the perl script shown below. In this script postal
codes for Netherland, belgium, Italy, Ireland can be validated with
the use of regular expressions. Still I need to validate countries
like Greece, Norway, United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, Schweiz,
Portugal, Austria, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Deutschland, Denmark. I
am not getting the regular expressions for these countries.
Can anyone help me out for these regular expressions??

  1. $country = $ARGV[0];
  2. $zip = $ARGV[1];
  3. $countrycode = "";
  4. $invalid_zip = "";
  5.  
  6. if($country =~ m/Netherland/)
  7. {
  8.     $invalid_zip =1  unless ($zip =~ /[1-9][0-9]00 NL/);
  9.     print "$country\t$zip\n;"
  10. }
  11. elsif($country =~ /Belgium/)
  12. {
  13.  
  14.     $invalid_zip =1  unless ($zip =~ /^([1-9]{1}[0-9]{3}$)/i);
  15.  
  16.     print "$country\t$zip\n;"
  17. }

What is your question? What the zip code for those nations are? That is up to you to find out, once you know the zip code format you can write a regexp to match it.

The C99 standard states: "In the abstract machine, all expressions are evaluated as specified by the semantics. An actual implementation need not evaluate part of an expression if it can deduce that its value is not used and that no needed side effects are produced (including any caused by calling a function or accessing a volatile object)." Does that mean that in the following code, *p does not have to be evaluated since its side...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
