 |
|
Hey guys,
I have an edit box where people can enter search criteria.
I would like my AHK script to be able to differentiate between search types.
So the script will get the text, and if it is a Post Code, it will perform a post code search.
A Post Code is a 6-7 alphanumeric code, with a space in it.
ie SP10 2AL or NW3 3PE
What is the best way of establishing whether the control text is a postcode, rather than a phone number, or plain text?
Any advice appreciated! |

A very basic regex would be i)^[a-z]{1,2}\d\d?\s*\d[a-z]{2}$

How would I use this to identify a variable as a postcode?
So id need something like
If data = Postcode
{
Go do this
{
In my other checks, it runs through a list of criteria to determine what type of data it is.
ie
| Code: | if StrLen(clipSearch) = 9
{
StringLeft, searchPrefix, clipSearch, 2
if searchPrefix = 21
{
SetSearch("TICKET","Ticket Number")
Return
}
if searchPrefix = 10
{
SetSearch("ORDER","Order Number")
Return
}
....
....
....
