Hi all,

I am having a little problem with regular expression. I have a change password application and I want to make sure the password contains at least one numeric character. The regular expression that I am using is, [a-zA-Z]+[0-9]+|[0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+.

If I put in "testing", it would return false, which is good because there isn't any numeric character in the string.
If I put in "testing123", it would return true, which is good too.

However, if I put in "1testing123", it would return false but it should return true because [0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+ should take care of this situation.

May I ask what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance,
Monte
