Default Field Validation for Length & Character Type

Hi,

I have a bunch of fields that I have validation on but there are two fields
that are so similar that I am having a problem trying to get them to be
uniquely validated.

both can only be 8 characters long but the first three characters are
letters and the last five are numbers. Range G5 needs to be validated to be
between ASA00000 & ASA99999. Range G30 needs to be validated to be between
AST00000 & AST99999. If I use the "Text Length" validation type then the
numbers can be swapped. I can't use the "Whole Number" validation because of
the first three characters. Is there a way to make a formula by using the
"Custom" validation that would work?

Thanks In Advance,
Rob
