respectsDocPattern

respectsDocPattern tests a string against a regexp pattern. Actually, this function has been written as a helper for isValidNIFFormat, isValidNIEFormat and isValidCIFFormat, but it can still be called directly.

SELECT respectsDocPattern( '33576428Q',
    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 1 */
SELECT respectsDocPattern( '1A1A1A1A',
    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 0 */

/* JavaScript */
var isValid = respectsDocPattern( '33576428Q',
    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 1 */
var isValid = respectsDocPattern( '1A1A1A1A',
    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 0 */

/* PHP */

    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 1 */

    '[KLM0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z]' ); /* Returns 0 */
