I tend to steer clear of regex since I don't really understand it, but
testing your scripts I cannot get any entry to return true.

My non-regex version of your checking function is as follows:

function CheckPostalCode tCodeToCheck
    if the length of tCodeToCheck = 5 and tCodeToCheck is a number then
        return true
    else if the length of tCodeToCheck = 10 and char 1 to 5 of
tCodeToCheck is a number and  \
            char 6 of tCodeToCheck = "-" and char 7 to 10 of
tCodeToCheck is a number then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end if
end CheckPostalCode

Assuming I have the format of your post codes correct, this seems to
work perfectly.

Cheers,
