I'm building an email signup form for kids. Sometimes they (or their adults)
type in values with long strings of one letter:
ddddddddddddavid for example.
I'd like to loop over the form fields and check for any occurrence of one
character repeated more than 3 times. That should cover any legit instance.
I'm guessing that this would be a cause for REReplaceNoCase, but I'm not
certain what the regex would be. Anyone have input? For simplicity's sake,
I'll just search for any letters or numbers.
So I want to find any occurrence of 4 or more letters or numbers in a row. I
was thinking that this should work, but it's matching whether there's 3 or
more letters in a row or not:
<cfset mystring = "waaaaaalt">
<cfif REFindNoCase("[0-9a-z]{3}",mystring)>
hammer time
<cfelse>
nada
</cfif>
I'm using CF 6.1
