I am trying to figure out a Regular Expression for Canadian Postal Code of the following format:

X0X 0X0

I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work:

/^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$/

Does anyone have a working one they can share?

That one looks correct. Can you share a link to your form?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I would go back to the form builder and reenter the regular expression as it appears to be wrong in the validation data.
Try mine.

I just tried that and got the same result. Did you use the following?

/^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]\d[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ]( )?\d[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ]\d$/

Very strange. I can't even get yours above to validate.
