I've been trying now for two days to get a regex right, but to no succes. I've read the regex link provided a page back, so please dont tell me to read it.

What I want to achieve is to check that a player have at least 2 characters in ther nick, eg <<jj>> should be ok, <<j.j>> should also be ok, but !!j!! not. The best possible solution i figured out was:

?<!((\w){0,1})

But that dident work .....

Someone have a clue ?

EDIT: I think I found a solution at last: ^[\W]{0,}[\w]{0,1}[\W]{0,}$

so you want 2 word chars with any non-word chars in the middle

\w[\W_]*\w

that should do it, let me know. BTW you are making this way harder than it is

I really have little idea what you're trying to accomplish.

Do you mean that you want names to have at least 2 different characters in it? Or do you mean that the length of the name must be at least 2 characters long? Or something else entirely?

Thanks, I did test it.

But it seems to match everything that has more than two word-chars. So in principle it's the inverted regex I'm looking for.

((((ii)))) was renamed because "ii" matched regex #40, "\w[\W_]*\w" (Test)
((((i_i)))) was renamed because "i_i" matched regex #40, "\w[\W_]*\w" (Test).

And yes I have a tendency to make things hard

But I think this will do the trick:

^[\W]{0,}[\w]{0,1}[\W]{0,}$

When testing it it seemed to work ok. It rename players with only none-word chars and players with none-word chars and only 1 word-char. And when looking at it, it seems to be the inverted of yours

Please answer my question.

Its realy complitary to the rules of 2-33 chars in a nick. But those rules just check how many chars there are, and we have a rule at our community which states that ones nick should at least contain 2 letters or digits. So a nick whish is approved by the counting rules, eg "(())" would fail if there isnt at least two chars in it, or digits for that matter. So what I was looking for was some kind of regex that counted the letters and digits and considered 1 or less as a match.

"|--------> 1" Should match because it has only 1 digit or word (/w)
"|--------> 42 <-------|" Should not match because it has 2 or more (/w) in it.
"|----4----><------2---|" Should not match either.

Hmm, I hope I was a bit clearer this time. I think I have solved it by this regex ^[\W]{0,}[\w]{0,1}[\W]{0,}$ though, but im not completly sure.

oh duh... yeah I made it match what you want to pass the test, I was thining backwards. I will edit this post in a few mins when I figure it out.

----

your last example is right, but its more complicated than it needs to be

^[\W_]*\w[\W_]*$

also I added in the _ in a char class because \W does not include _

Thank you very mush, dident know the _ dident match in /W. That works very well for my needs.

Could I get regex help with these two commands

r+[a4@]+p+[e3]
because some guy came on with the name "GrapeVine" and it kicked him. So how could I make this not kick for a word like grape.

s+[e3]+x
because some guy came on with the name "Sexy Knife" and it kicked him. And that is really not a bad name.

[jtp10181]

require those ot be thier own words, use the word boundry special char on them

\br+[a4@]+p+[e3]\b
\bs+[e3]+x\b
