i am trying to allow combinations of 3 numbers eg. 222 or 2 numbers followed by a capital letter eg. 21A. It works fine for the 3 numbers but doesnt accept 2 numbers followed by a letter.
Code:if((u_no[0] > 47) && (u_no[0] < 58)) { if((u_no[1] > 47) && (u_no[1] < 58)) { if((u_no[2] > 47) && (u_no[2] < 58)) { u_count_parts++; printf("u_no ok\n"); } if((u_no[2] > 64) && (u_no[2] > 91)) { u_count_parts++; printf("u_no ok\n"); } } }
There's a problem there...Code:if((u_no[2] > 64) && (u_no[2] > 91))

Code://if first position is a number if((u_no[0] > 47) && (u_no[0] < 58)) { //if second position is a number if((u_no[1] > 47) && (u_no[1] < 58)) { //if first position is a number or a letter if((u_no[2] > 47) && (u_no[2] < 58) || (u_no[2] > 64) && (u_no[2] < 91)) { u_count_parts++; printf("u_no ok\n"); } } }
Using isdigit() and isalpha() from <ctype.h> will help.
is there anything to restrict it to just capitals?

From the code i provided above should do it.Code:(u_no[2] > 64) && (u_no[2] < 91)
or use isupper() from ctype.h
