	The negative ZIP code might not be Cueball's mistake, but the result of system expecting American notation. No one said that the comic happens in the US. Some countries (e.g. Poland) use notation with hyphen, like 31-324. If the system is worldwide, but its creator didn't take this into account, and the system for some reason interprets entered code as mathematical expression (which is alarming itself), a valid Polish code may become a negative number. Alternatively, this might happen in the US, but Cueball is not American and is used to different notation.

 :::::Uhhh, your Postcodes are a horror for programmers, just because the length vary. The first official implementation for this was during {{w|WWII}} in Germany, the UK did implement this in the range of 1959-1974, and the US did start this system in 1963. But there are still many countries not using this system (like Ireland), which is just a double horror for programmers.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 20:18, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 ::::::Start with "m/(\w+) (\w+)/" and then subdivide into branches according to $1's further matching?  At each stage checked for more specific validity (and even existence!).  If not that, "m/[A..Z]{1,2}\d{1,2}[A..Z]? \d[A..Z]{2}/i" should work if you want just a single test (with ()s around elements for the geographic validation checking part). Ok, so it's not "\d{howevermany}", then check it exists on the database, but it'd do for starters, and personally I relish such programming challenges... ;) [[Special:Contributions/178.98.215.19|178.98.215.19]] 11:36, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
