That's easy: " [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?$" This means at least four and at most six digits. "[0-9]?" is an optional digit, whereas "[0-9]" (without "?") is a mandatory digit. I'm sure you can adjust the number of spaces easily enough. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards. (BFBS Radio)
