how about
/^[a-z0-9]{n}X/i
where n is the index of the character and X is the character?

Subject: RegEx rookie question
Is there a way to check for a character in a specific position in a str
ing?
For example, say I want to make sure that the 10th
character in a string is an X.
This would be a match: 123456789X12345
Would I have to use a pattern like ?????????X
or is there something more elegant? Using something like the above wou
ld
be cumbersome for matching the 125th character, for
example.
Thanks,
