Subject: confirming string length, case, and alphanumeric

hi, 

my system generates a password with the following criteria:

must be exactly 8 characters in length
must have at least 1 number
must have at least 1 uppercase letter
must have at least 1 lower case letter

however, the passwordGenerator i am using doesnt always get it right, even
though it is supposed to. It probably gets it right 7 out of 10 times. I got
it from someone on another post and cant see where the problem is. So i
thought that when i generate the password i can write some cfscript to check
if it meets the criteria and if not then it regenerates it and checks it
again

i know there must be a way of doing this in cfscript by using regular
expressions
var anUpperCase = /[A-Z]/;
var aLowerCase = /[a-z]/;
var aNumber = /[0-9]/;

but i cant think on how to apply it and make it work. does anyone have any
sample code that i can use, or can anyone provide me with any help.

thanks very much, i really appreciate any help
