Question

hi, I need a regular expression which accepts the alphabets UPPER CASE,lower case and digits minimum character is 5 and maximum character is 20. This is my current Reg Ex.

^[A-Za-z\d]{5,20}$

The issue that i am facing with the current Regular expression is, if i enter 5 spaces it accepts. so i want the user to enter password without space.

Answer 1

Are you using a RegularExpressionValidator? If so you should add a RequiredFieldValidator to prevent whitespace or blank entries. Per the RegularExpressionValidator documentation:

Validation succeeds if the input control is empty. If a value is required for the associated input control, use a RequiredFieldValidator control in addition to the RegularExpressionValidator control.

Answer 2

another way

 ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{5,20}$
