i use this one:
Order.PC.requires =
IS_MATCH('^([A-Za-z][0-9][A-Za-z]\s*[0-9][A-Za-z][0-9])$',
error_message=T('Not a valid Postal Code')), IS_NOT_EMPTY()
you can also try some of these others that I have, but the one above works
fine...
# validate Canadian Postal Codes
# CA: ^(?!.*[DFIOQU])[A-VXY][0-9][A-Z]●[0-9][A-Z][0-9]$
# CA: ^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$
# CA: [ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]\d[A-Z] \d[A-Z]\d
# CA: ^\d{5}-\d{4}|\d{5}|[A-Z]\d[A-Z][ ]\d[A-Z]\d$
# UK: ^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]?●[0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$
# US: '^[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?$'
