That makes no sense. Are you talking about 32 characters? That's an awfully long serial number. 😄

Yes Altenbach, this is the requirement 😊
We have a very long thread with many messages. What is "this"?

"This" means the serial number and it's length.
At various times the length has been quoted here as 32bits, 8 characters, 4 bytes, 32 characters and many other variations. If it is just max 8 printable characters, use the code I linked earlier and change one diagram constant.
Please write an entire paragraph explaining your definition of "serial number", including:
- min and max string length (e.g. empty string is not a valid SN)
- Allowed characters (number, uppercase, lower case, special (e.g. %), etc.)
- Valid patters (e.g. "4 numbers-4 letters")
- Are some characters always the same?
- Valid numeric range if scanned.
- Need to match a certain regex?
- What is the final datatype of the validated serial number output going to the caller code?
- etc.
Then make a list of at least 10 valid serial number and a list of 10 similar, but invalid serial numbers so we can get a better idea.
The "I know it when I see it" method does not work in computing.
And, we are right back to my Regex and key filtering f
Some days the irony amazes me. "Prompt User for invalid Data" Sounds like the OP has that down pat!
Yes, we are going in circles. I won't contribute more unless all my questions above are answered in detail.
