ContainerNumber
On this page
A shipping container's number, checked by its check digit: CSQU3054383.
Use it for sea and rail freight containers. For a parcel, use TrackingNumber. For a software container, use ContainerImage.
Shape
One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: TOLU4734787.
Example
ContainerNumber("CSQU3054383")ContainerNumber(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.
text.parse(raw, as: ContainerNumber) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as CSQU3054384, CSQA3054383 or CSQU 305438 3.
Good to know
- Write it with no spaces.
text.formatadds them:CSQU 305438 3. ==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it.
