But you said it is fixed to "six digits". This should work, for any number of digits: `$match = $str =~ /^\+\d+/;` [download] Regards, Edward	[reply] [d/l]

What I ment to say was that it returns true even if there are more that 6 digits. I need to validate exactly six (6) digits.	[reply]

The pattern +000000 is in that string. Did you want it to match only if the whole string fits the pattern? If so then `/^\+\d{6}\z/` should work.	[reply] [d/l]
