Limit number of alpha characters in regular expression
- by beardedd
I've been struggling to figure out how to best do this regular expression.
Here are my requirements:
Up to 8 characters
Can only be alphanumeric
Can only contain up to three alpha characters [a-z] (zero alpha characters are valid to)
Any ideas would be appreciated.
This is what I've got so far, but it only looks for contiguous letter characters:
^(\d|([A-Za-z])(?!([A-Za-z]{3,}))){0,8}$
