and 4 numbers in that order.

Example: KT1234

Ucase the entry.

[a-zA-Z]{2}\d{4}

Actually, if case really doesn't matter
[A-Z]{2}\d{4}

If you're trying to find the pattern within a string, use the above. If
you're trying to figure out whether a string completely fits the
pattern, use

^[A-Z]{2}\d{4}$

I want to test what the user has entered in a textbox, so from your answer I
want to use: > ^[A-Z]{2}\d{4}$

Does anyone know of a good website to learn how to build RegEx's?

Thanks,

Thomas

Download RegEx Builder from http://www.cjjug.com/dec02-2003.htm. It is a
very useful tool for generating Regular expression. It is free.
