The YOUR SPACESHIP NUMBER field needs three items, like the YOUR PLANET NAME field:
  • A Static Text element named SpaceShipHeader for the field label
  • A Character String element named SpaceShip for the field value
  • A block named SpaceShip for the field
Create them as described in Steps 10 to 14, with these settings:
1

Define the SpaceShip element with a regular expression

Give the SpaceShip element a regular expression instead of an alphabet, unlike the PlanetName element. The YOUR SPACESHIP NUMBER field has the same data format on every test image, so you can define it with the regular expression [N]{5}[A-Z][A-Z][N]{2}.For more information on regular expressions, see Alphabet used in regular expressions.
