regular expression question 1

[lfc77]

How do I do a regular expression which allows any sort of input, but has a fixed length (i.e. I have a password field that needs to be 8 characters, but can include any sort of characters such as A-Z, 0-9, !"£ etc).


Any help would be really appreciated.


Cheers,

Try using the len function i.e



If len(password) <> 8 then
msgbox &quot;Password must be eight characters long&quot;
endif

if u still plan to use RegExps the pattern is:
pattern=&quot;^.{8}$&quot;

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Kris,

That's the regular expression I was looking for, thanks! What exactly does the '.' look for though?


Thanks,
