jQuery NIC validate

Question

I need regex to validate an Pakistani National ID Card (NIC) number which contains Digits and Dashes in format given below

12345-1234567-1

Please help..

Answer 1

you can use standard javaScript to test the Regex expression:

var idToTest = '12345-1234567-1',
myRegExp = new RegExp(/\d{5}-\d{7}-\d/);

if(myRegExp.test(idToTest)) {
    //if true
}
else {
    //if false
}

Answer 2

Try this:

var cnic_no = '12345-1234567-9',
var cnic_no_regex = /^[0-9+]{5}-[0-9+]{7}-[0-9]{1}$/;

if(cnic_no_regex.test(cnic_no)) 
{
    alert('Right');
}
else 
{
    alert('Wrong');
}

Answer 3

This will validate it. (As long as the format is exactly as you state)

\d{5}-\d{7}-\d

Answer 4

this should be like that

myRegExp = new RegExp(/\d{5}-\d{7}-\d{1}$/);

You can use this regex to validate CNIC

^[0-9+]{5}-[0-9+]{7}-[0-9]{1}$
