need help with validating a 9-digit number.
CANNOT BE
-----------
000000000
111111111
222222222
333333333
444444444
555555555
666666666
777777777
888888888
999999999
4-5 position(s) CANNOT BE 00 -- 123001234
6-9 position(s) CANNOT BE 00 -- 234550000
The nine numbers CANNOT BE sequential -- but only the following 4 four below, for the time being --
012345678
123456789
987654321
098765432
I had just managed to get the first piece done --
"^(?:(?!0+|1+|2+|3+|4+))\d{9}$"
Thanks a TON for the help friends.
A single regex to validate all your rules may exist, but it will be much more easier, readable and maintainable if you write a validation rule (which can be a regex) for each of your criteria.
And as a more general comment, regex are usually great to check what a string IS, but they are not that good when it comes to check what a string IS NOT.
