Re: Validate UK postcode without a space in it

It looks like the Validation regex needs to be updated. This:

$_this->regex = '/\\A\\b[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][A-Z0-9]?
[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}\\b\\z/i';

should be:

$_this->regex =
'/\\A\\b[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][A-Z0-9]?[\s]?[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}\\b\\z/i';

Ditto for the Canadian one.
