Title: Yet Another Credit Card Validator
Question: A routine to validate and identify Visa/MasterCard/Amex credit cards. Might come handy if you want to perform arbitrary card checking. Original code by Daniel J. Karnes (1990)
Answer:
{-------------------------------------------------
Credit card validator
Returns:
0 : Card is invalid or unknown
1 : Card is a valid AmEx
2 : Card is a valid Visa
3 : Card is a valid MasterCard
-------------------------------------------------}
function Vc(c: string): integer;
var
card: string[21];
Vcard: array[0..21] of byte absolute card;
Xcard: integer;
Cstr: string[21];
y, x: integer;
begin
Cstr := '';
fillchar(Vcard, 22, #0);
card := c;
for x := 1 to 20 do
if (Vcard[x] in [48..57]) then
Cstr := Cstr + chr(Vcard[x]);
card := '';
card := Cstr;
Xcard := 0;
if not odd(length(card)) then
for x := (length(card) - 1) downto 1 do
begin
if odd(x) then
y := ((Vcard[x] - 48) * 2)
else
y := (Vcard[x] - 48);
if (y = 10) then
y := ((y - 10) + 1);
Xcard := (Xcard + y)
end
else
for x := (length(card) - 1) downto 1 do
begin
if odd(x) then
y := (Vcard[x] - 48)
else
y := ((Vcard[x] - 48) * 2);
if (y = 10) then
y := ((y - 10) + 1);
Xcard := (Xcard + y)
end;
x := (10 - (Xcard mod 10));
if (x = 10) then
x := 0;
if (x = (Vcard[length(card)] - 48)) then
Vc := ord(Cstr[1])-ord('2')
else
Vc := 0
