Question

I have an input field that is for City, State (two letter) and ZIP (5 numeric digits). The format is ‘City, State ZIP’.

Would anyone be able to provide how I can validate this format and characters?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You could use a regular expression: http://jsfiddle.net/pimvdb/AeKdj/.

/[\w ]+, \w{2} \d{5}/

Where:

[\w ]+   means more than one of letter or space
\w{2}    means exactly two letters
\d{5}    means five digits

E.g.

/[\w ]+, \w{2} \d{5}/.test(textbox.value);
