hi forum...

i am in bad need to find out a regular expression... pls help

condition is regular expression is for password validation

conditions:

o    6 or more characters with mix of any 2 below

§  Upper case

§  Lower case

§  Number

§  Special character

I can't figure out a simpler solution

(?x-i)(?=
             (?:
                 ([A-Z])|([a-z])|(\d)|(\W)
              )
             (?(1)(?=.*(?:(?2)|(?3)|(?4))))
             (?(2)(?=.*(?:(?1)|(?3)|(?4))))
             (?(3)(?=.*(?:(?1)|(?2)|(?4))))
             (?(4)(?=.*(?:(?1)|(?2)|(?3))))
).{6,}

I can't say this is any simpler but here's one I used:

(?=.{6})(?:(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])|(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)|(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[^A-Za-z\d])|(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*\d)|(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[^A-Za-z\d])|(?=.*\d)(?=.*[^A-Za-z\d])).*
