Question

UPC, EAN, or ISBN

Hello, all.

Does anyone know of a CFC that can take a string and return whether that string is a UPC, an EAN, or an ISBN?

I'm working on a site that adds items to a seller's half.com account (for many sellers) and the product ID that is being supplied could be a UPC, an EAN, or an ISBN (both -10 and -13), and I need to be able to tell half.com which the product ID is.

Thanks,

^_^

    WolfShade,

    I came across this webservice named "GetISBNInformation", through which you can perform the ISBN (or) EAN lookups.

    As for UPC,

    You can make use of this UDF,

    UPC, an EAN, or an ISBN (both -10 and -13)

    Have you checked cflib.org? I know they have a function for ISBN at least. Also, what type of UPC?

    To expand -==cfSearching==-'s suggestion,

    For ISBN,

    http://cflib.org/udf/IsISBN

    For UPC,

    Unfortunately there is no library avaiable for EAN (in CFLIB)., but I hope you can follow the ISBN code from where you can build another library for EAN.

    That would be a good addition. But what formats of EAN? There is some overlap between the types you listed. I am not sure you could differentiate between some of them. Not unless the values are formatted. Or perhaps use different check digit calculations.
