You're far, far better off writing a function that tests each rule separately, so that you can tell the user _why_ the password isn't allowed. If you use a regex, it's just pass/fail. The user won't have any idea how to fix the problem. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! With YOU, I can be at MYSELF ...
