Re: Re: Re: formatting zipcodes

If you are writing this code for international use remember that not all postal codes are five digits. The post codes in Australia, for example, are 4 digits long.

Not wanting to re-state the obvious I will make this short. I have the joy of working with both US and Canadian Addresses (maybe Mexico soon) and the best solution is to just format them as strings as stated below (and above i believe) with double quotes. This gets around all the stupid thinks like spaces, letters and US postal zip codes (5-4 format).	[reply]
