]]> Comment on Format Credit Card with X’s and Dashes using PHP (credit card masking) by Matt http://brett.batie.com/software-development/post-about-format-credit-card-with-xs-and-dashes-using-php/comment-page-1/#comment-6691 Matt Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:53:37 +0000 http://brett.batie.com/private/spi/to-do/post-about-format-credit-card-with-xs-and-dashes-using-php/#comment-6691 I like your formatting options with adding the dashes. If you're looking for a one-line solution to keep the length and dashes exactly as entered: preg_replace('/(?!^.?)[0-9](?!(.){0,3}$)/', '*', '3456-7890-1234-5678') Keeps the FIRST CHARACTER, the LAST FOUR CHARACTERS, and any NON-NUMERIC CHARACTERS in-between. Masks (*) everything else. "3456-7890-1234-5678" = "3***-****-****-5678" "4567890123456789" = "4***********6789" "4928-abcd9012-3456" = "4***-abcd****-3456" "498291842" = "4****1842" If the regular expression is a bit confusing, (?!) is a "look-ahead not-equals", meaning make sure this does NOT come before or next, but leave it alone. I like your formatting options with adding the dashes.

If you’re looking for a one-line solution to keep the length and dashes exactly as entered:

preg_replace(‘/(?!^.?)[0-9](?!(.){0,3}$)/’, ‘*’, ‘3456-7890-1234-5678′)

Keeps the FIRST CHARACTER, the LAST FOUR CHARACTERS, and any NON-NUMERIC CHARACTERS in-between. Masks (*) everything else.

“3456-7890-1234-5678″ = “3***-****-****-5678″
“4567890123456789″ = “4***********6789″
“4928-abcd9012-3456″ = “4***-abcd****-3456″
“498291842″ = “4****1842″

If the regular expression is a bit confusing, (?!) is a “look-ahead not-equals”, meaning make sure this does NOT come before or next, but leave it alone.

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:35:04 +0000 http://brett.batie.com/?p=121#comment-5713 Hi there! Great program, love it. However, in Windows 7 64-bit, it needs to be run with administrative privileges, otherwise it crashes with "This program stopped working...". So, after install you have to: find the exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Brett Batie\Excel on Multiple Monitors\runExcel.exe) right-click, select "Troubleshoot Compatibility" click "Troubleshoot program" check "The program requires additional permissions" and folllow the prompts to save the settings. Perhaps an update would be good. Also, it cannot automatically find the path to excel. Hi there! Great program, love it.
