in reply to Yet another REGEXP Question

That's an odd use of the word "sensible" applied to "password". Are you sure you don't mean "username" where you have "password"? A password restricted to \w+ is surely much easier to hack. Maybe if that is indeed a password, you need to rewrite the code that deals with passwords, rather than restricting the users to such a guessable set.

    The character set mentioned is more than secure enough for the application.

    As to altering the code which deals with the passwords, that would be Mr Gate's department :)

    Thanks for your help
