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,
