Re: Canadian Postal Codes
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2001
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 38818
interpreted = N
texte = Usually the Postal Code range used in searches are based on the first 3 characters, the first letter represents the province, the second; the city, the third; the area of city or town. Don't worry about the last 3 letters those are for the letter carrier to get to a specific address. One problem that could probably arise is a box # postal code, but I wouldn't worry about that, you could at least list dealer in that prov/city. --------------------- Cheers!Ken MacMurchy web dude email: ken.macmurchy@leaderpost.com web: http://www.leaderpost.com 306-565-8299 1964 Park St. Regina, SK, Canada S4P 3G4 > From: Clint Davis
