Title: Note the IE BUG

It might be a good idea to move the length check to the beginning and the rest after that, like so: (?=^.{8,15}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*


Title: This expression is NOT broken
Name: Greg C.
Date: 4/10/2008 6:16:23 PM
Comment:
This isn't broken. It *CAN* validate for at least one upper- and one lower-case letter and one digit. However, the default settings for testing expressions on this site include "Case insensitive". With a case-insensitive match settings, it obviously *will* match "ABSCDEFG1". When testing this, switch OFF the case-insensitive checkbox. And if you want it to work in IE, you need to tweak things like this: ^(?=.{8,15}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).* See http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/regex-lookahead-bug

Works for ABCDEFG9 which fails description as at least one lower case is required


Title: possible alternative
Name: Doug
Date: 10/18/2006 5:22:17 PM
Comment:
I believe this might be a possible alternative: (?=^.{7,12}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z]).* Since it appears that IE doesn't do the lookaheads properly, I just put the length requirement as the lookahead itself. Notice the ^ and the $ are inside the lookahead that checks the length, otherwise that lookahead would pass on anything greater than or equal to 7 characters. The only other change I make when using this regex myself, is that I prefer to replace the final dot with a character class that has only the characters I prefer to allow: (?=^.{7,12}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])[!-~]* or (?=^.{7,12}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])[^\s]*

Title: problem with lower and upper caps.
Name: Andres Garcia

Comment:
Supposedly 12aaaa12 does not match, but it does. this expression does NOT enforce lower AND upper caps. It enforces alphanumeric and numeric only


Title: Jscript Version Bug

I think I've tracked down the Javascript problem. See http://blogs.regexadvice.com/mash/archive/2004/10/05/1753.aspx


Title: Re: Slight modification for JavaScript
Name: Michael Ash
Date: 10/5/2004 10:44:02 AM
Comment:
The modified expression is NOT equivalent to the original. In fact the modified version matches everything (except a newline). Try it with 8 of the same character. The movement of the astericks makes all the look-aheads superfluous. Also, there is actually no reason the original shouldn't work in javascript. It is syntaxally sound. There appears to be a bug with the client side engines. I'm getting ood results when testing it.


Title: Slight modification for JavaScript

Comment:
This works great for .NET but not when you try to use .NET RegExp Validators which use client-side JavaScript. I made a small change to work in JavaScript (note the movement of the asterisks): ^(?=.\d*)(?=.[a-z]*)(?=.[A-Z]*).{8,15}$

Title: Puzzling Error
Name: Sampson

Comment:
When I run this with "test expression" on this site, it works great, but when I try to use it in the built-in reg expression validator on the asp page, it evaluates the expression as requiring 6 numbers, 6 letters. I copied and pasted, so I know the syntax is ok..any thoughts?
