jquery validation regex to match specific format

Question

I'm trying to match the following format:

T123ABC

When people insert they could do it with spaces or dashes. I am trying to use this format for jquery validator but for some reason it is not working:

$.validator.addMethod('numberplateTZ', function (value) { 
    var reg = value.replace(" ","");
    reg = reg.replace("-","");
    return /[a-z]{1}[0-9]{3}[a-z]{3}$/.test(reg); 
}, 'Numberplate format: T XXX ABC...');

replace() with string, replaces a single occurrence, to replace all occurrences use replace(/\s+/g, ''). Missing anchor ^ in regex. Use i flag for case-insensitive match. — Tushar
