Hello perlmonks,
I'm trying to extend this regex to match 3 of 4 submatches.
^.*(?=.{10,})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%^&+=]).*$
Not 4 of 4 like it's currently doing.
Update 3:
$1 is a requirement, I.E. $2, $3, $4, $5 - if any three {3,4} or more match then it's a match.
Update:
I enjoy perl, but also enjoy perlre and If possible would prefer a regex centric solution. I.E. is there a way to due this with one line of regex or do we need perl to do the 3 of 4 logic?
Update 2:
Here's a description of what the current regex should do:
* Must be at least 10 characters
* Must contain at least one one lower case letter, one upper case letter, one digit and one special character (this should be 3 or more...)
* Valid special characters are - @#$%^&+=
All advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
