I can't remember the correct way to write a custom regular expression validator, and the help file for VB.net is not terribly helpful...it does not give any real world examples. I've got the main syntax of ^[a-zA-z] but I can't remember how to write the next portion. I need to validate passwords...the y must start with a letter of the alphabet, can contain 0-9 and can contain the special characters @#$%&, I just can't remember the correct syntax to write this as a regular expression validation.
Is it ^[a-zA-z]|[a-zA-Z0-9@#$%&] ? I'm not certain about the special characters, they can be in any order as long as the first character is a letter.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
TIA, Coleen

That looks very good for someone who cannot remember Regexes :)
Here's a resource I like for figuring out regexes: http://devedge.netscape.com/library/...p.html#1193136
The only question I would have is whether you have a minimum size. In that
case, replace the ? with a {min, max} like {4, 20}.
Also add the '$' to the end.

Thanks :-) I took it in class, but it's been months since I've used it, so
I'm not certain it will do everything I need. I do need to check it for
length, thanks very much for the suggestion and link. I appreciate it :-)

Hi
We have started off using a $_GET parameter to keep track of the user's
browser:
We detect what browser the visitor is using when he first arrives on
our website then we do a redirect to the same page adding on
"&browser=IE" or "&browser=DOM" at the end of the url (and we keep the
browser parameter in the URL the whole time he is on the website), this
enables us to use the following PHP method:

Hi.
I have a regularexpression validator control on a page. This regular
expression validates a textbox to accept only numbers and commas:
validationexpression="*"
I am trying to modify this expression to not allow commas at the
beginning and at the end of the expression without success. It needs
to allow commas only between the numbers. How can I do that?

Hi All,
I've got a textbox where I want to make sure the person has entered at least
3 characters before submitting (it's like a partial name lookup type of
query), so I don't want them to just enter "a" or "e" in the box and bring
back everyone with an "a" or "e" in their name.
I figure that a regular expression validation is the way to go, and I tried
this:
ValidationExpression="^({3,255})$"

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
