| The PostCodeFormatter class formats a valid postcode |
| based on a user set <code>formatString</code> or |
| <code>formats</code> property. |
| |
| <p>Postcode formats consists of the letters C, N, A and spaces or hyphens |
| <ul> |
| <li>CC or C is the country code (required for some postcodes).</li> |
| <li>N is a number 0-9.</li> |
| <li>A is a letter A-Z or a-z,</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Country codes one be one or two digits.</p> |
| |
| <p>For example "NNNN" is a four digit numeric postcode, "CCNNNN" is country code |
| followed by four digits and "AA NNNN" is two letters, followed by a space then |
| followed by four digits.</p> |
| |
| <p>More than one format can be specified by setting the <code>formats</code> |
| property to an array of format strings.</p> |
| |
| <p>Spaces and hypens will be added if missing to format the postcode correctly.</p> |
| |
| <p>If an error occurs, an empty String is returned and a String that |
| describes the error is saved to the <code>error</code> property. |
| The <code>error</code> property can have one of the following values: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <code>"invalidFormat"</code> means the format constants an invalid |
| character.</li> |
| <li> |
| <code>"wrongFormat"</code> means the postcode has an invalid format.</li> |
| <li> |
| <code>"wrongLength"</code> means the postcode is not a valid length.</li> |
| <li> |
| <code>"invalidChar"</code> means the postcode contains an invalid |
| character.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Fullwidth numbers and letters are supported in postcodes by ignoring character |
| width via the <code>flash.globalization.Collator</code> |
| <code>equals</code> method.</p> |
