Strange problem with RAT Thread #
1168771 >Good stuff, but much of the issue is that the value in the field for the example is "W9N", but it could just as easily be "ABC10AN" or something else. I'm trying to write something that will parse it apart not knowing exactly what it will be. There could be required alpha, then numeric (ABC10N), or there could be required numeric and alpha (12310A) or alpha and alphanumeric (ABC5AN). I can't see a way to handle it without knowing the values ahead of time.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
