I wanted to use ereg function only.

hai andreif,
I actually check thru if condition like

if (strlen(trim($value[2])) == 8 && ereg("^([A-Z]{4})_([1-9]{1,2}[A-Z])$",trim($value[2])));

 echo "<td>".trim($value[2])."</td>";
else
 //display $value in red color in browser.

as u told I change the coding but still I can see the value in red color ie it takes the else condition only.

can u advice where I went wrong.

Thank u

Hi,

it seems correct, at least it works at me.

Can you give an examples of $value[2] values?

Note:
1. expression is CAse SenSitive now :)
2. you don't have to check length, because regular expression has require rather strict string format, it allows strings like

ABCD_1E or ABCD_12E, so if you need only strings with 2 digits (length=8) you should replace [1-9]{1,2} with [1-9]{2} and don't worry about length

hai andreif,

I got it.

I just did a simple mistake.
I added the coding as u gave now works well
Thank u
