My current app needs to store address information for a user. I'm currently debating whether to use the customary street address / city / state / zip textboxes and dropdowns or to go with Google's method of simply having everything on one line. Any thoughts on the pros/cons of storing address information in either of these manners? ...
Do you have pseudocode for field validation of the following items in the UK? I am from the USA, so I only know the ones in the USA right now. Address Line 1 Phone Number Mobile Number (in case they have a special rule for this, which they might not) Post Code ...
I have a client which is shipping via UPS, and therefore cannot deliver to Post Office boxes. I would like to be able to validate customer address fields in order to prevent them from entering addresses which include a PO box. It would be best if this were implemented as a regex so that I could use a client-side regex validation control ...
So I'm using python to do some parsing of web pages and I want to split the full web address into two parts. Say I have the address http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask. I would need the protocol and domain (e.g. http://www.stackoverflow.com) and the path (e.g. /questions/ask). I figured this might be solved by some regex, however ...
Does anyone have a list of email addresses that I can use to test my JS address validation script? I'm looking for as complete of a list as is reasonable to test the most common edge cases, if not all cases. ...
Are there any good references for best practices for storing postal addresses in an RDBMS? It seems there are lots of tradeoffs that can be made and lots of pros and cons to each to be evaluated -- surely this has been done time and time again? Maybe someone has at least written done some lessons learned somewhere? Examples of the tra...
Address records are probably used in most database, but I've seen a number of slightly different sets of fields used to store them. The number of fields seems to vary from 3-7, and sometimes all fields are simple labelled address1..addressN, other times given specific meaning (town, city, etc). This is UK specific, though I'm open to co...
I am trying to get an address based on the long/lat. it appears that something like this should work? Geocoder myLocation = Geocoder(Locale.getDefault()); List myList = myLocation.getFromLocation(latPoint,lngPoint,1); The issue is that I keep getting : The method Geocoder(Locale) is undefined for the type savemaplocation Any ass...
I have a system where users need to enter addresses. I am trying to limit duplicates of course and something I started noticing was becoming a big problem was some users putting in "Road" and others "Rd", therefore duplicates were creeping in. I looked up the list of USPS street suffix abbreviations but I still have a question which I ...
What is the best way to determine if a string represents a web address? I need to let the user enter a web address into a form, but how do I validate the input? The user should be allowed to enter strings like "http://www.google.com" or "www.vg.no", but he shouldn't be required to enter the "http://". Also, there are web pages like "tv2....
I'm looking for the ultimate postal code and zip code regex. I'm looking for something that will cover most (hopefully all) of the world. ...
Can anyone provide an algorithm to validate a Singaporean FIN? I know with a Singaporean NRIC I can validate it via modulo 11 and then compare the result to a lookup table but cannot find a similar lookup table for the FIN. I also do not know for sure if the modulo 11 is the correct method to validate. I am aware the government sell...
Hello all, I am trying to create a generic address class that could be used to store any address from any country. For example here in the UK we have post code where as in USA I think they use Zip code. I have few ideas in mind but I just wanted to see what others think. Thanks. ...
I'm working on a web application that is globalized. The development process is agile style, with several sprints already completed. Our globalization framework is good and localization efforts have been successful so far. However, we continue to run into questions during requirements development, particularly in data storage and vali...
Background: Those of you who use FF3 may be familiar with an interesting new attribute of the address bar. It allows you to do sub-string auto-complete in order to filter through URLs that you have viewed previously. Therefore, if you want to open the following URL: http://longservernamehere.thatyou.nevercanremember.com/support/asdf12...
I have this code that edits addresses in a game to get unlimited ammo and what not, and I found out that the addresses are different for every computer, sometimes every time you restart the game, so how would I manage making this work still even though they change. ...
what is the regular expression for a url without 'http://www.'? i'd like to validate whether it is uri or not when the user enters the uri name ...
From first glance, it would appear I have two basic choices for storing ZIP codes in a database table: Text (probably most common), i.e. char(5) or varchar(9) to support +4 extension Numeric, i.e. 32-bit integer Both would satisfy the requirements of the data, if we assume that there are no international concerns. In the past we've ...
I've just started at a new company in outsourced communications (e.g. print and mail, email, fax). One of the requirements is to process clients data and get it ready for mailing. For recurring jobs, this is easy using an ETL tool linked in with some addressing software, but for adhoc stuff it's a bit overkill. I've used inhouse develop...
I have a single product, a file that is dynamically created and I need a paypal to return a customer after payment is done to the address of the file.
