NOW you got it :-) good job. I tried a couple times myself. Then gave up... Bobby Hartsfield 11/28/2006 05:32 PM
Niiiiiiiice :D Ben Nadel 11/28/2006 05:26 PM
Sorry, can't get this outta my head now.  Too interesting a challenge. Steve Brownlee 11/28/2006 05:20 PM

No it doesn't. Neither does yours. Patrick's was closer though. Bobby Hartsfield 11/28/2006 03:21 PM
Forget my attempt, Patrick's works perfectly. Steve Brownlee 11/28/2006 02:48 PM
You could try this... Steve Brownlee 11/28/2006 02:30 PM
That looks VERY similar to one I found and tried for this thread :-) Bobby Hartsfield 11/27/2006 10:26 PM
Can't resist the challenge. :-) Patrick McElhaney 11/27/2006 09:24 PM
But I guess that?s what Ben did heh... Bobby Hartsfield 11/27/2006 11:07 AM
You can also still do it in one cfset with Ben's 2 separate expressions... Bobby Hartsfield 11/27/2006 11:05 AM
I say break it up into two different test: Ben Nadel 11/27/2006 09:33 AM

I don't think this part is necessary: "(?!.*[^A-Za-z0-9])(?!.*\s)"  No one said anything about non-alphanumeric characters being disallowed, did they? If that's what you're going for we can simplify a bit. ^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[0-9])[A-Za-z0-9]{6,12}$ Patrick -- Patrick McElhaney 704.560.9117

I believe this one will do it.   ^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?!.*[^A-Za-z0-9])(?!.*\s).{6,12}$ LOL, as was said originally, easier to break it up into two expressions than worry about creating a monstrous pattern (as shown above). Steve Brownlee             http://www.fusioncube.net '11111a111111' fails 'aaaaa1aaaaaa' fails '11111a' fails 'aaaaa1' fails Actually... I guess everything I feed that one fails. Just go with Bens original solution. It made it MUCH easier.
