Canadian postal code regex

[Liam Morland]

In this file:
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/countryInfo.txt
the Canadian postal code regex is shown as:

^([a-zA-Z]\d[a-zA-Z]\d[a-zA-Z]\d)$

There ought to be a space between the first three and last three characters. This is correctly done in the postal code format: "@#@ #@#".

Some letters are not used in Canadian postal codes, so a better regex is this:

^([ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]\d[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ]) ?(\d[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVWXYZ]\d)$

Hi Liam

Thanks. The regex has been changed.

Best Regards
