Number validation issue

[Morten Engvoldsen]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

Here in your code i think you didn't multiply the given number with the
weight i have mentioned.  The each digit of the given number should
multiply with weight ...............4,3,2,7,6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,2,
1  in this format. That is in detail:

To verify the number use the following weights from right to left:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
Multiply each digit by its corresponding weight. Add the results together.
For the number to be correct the
total must be divisible by 11.
Field with control digit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 5
Weight 3 2 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Produce +3 +4 +21 +24 +25 +24 +21 +16 +5 =143
The sum must be divisible by 11 (143 divided by 11 leaves a remainder of 0).

So my code has validated only the length of 11 digit.  So i am looking for
'n' length of number should be validated with weight
...............4,3,2,7,6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,2, 1   from left to
right..

Thanks again ...
