Sorry to keep this thread going. Well...no, it actually wasn't. He's looking for an alphanumeric check. What you wrote detects a complete non-alphanumeric string.
If you wanted to do a complete alphanumeric string, you'd remove the preceding
negation ("^") in the character range, and keep the star as you said.

Yes Scott, all is clear now.
And since initial question was how to make this example works with as2lib, I
think my advice to put "*" at the end of the pattern was correct ;)

Igor

Well, again. I don't know your API. I thought that matches() would have
worked like IsMatch(), but as you said, it's more like for find().
Given my understanding, what I said was correct.

I don't agree with you. For Java-like RegExp implementation:
var p : Pattern = new Pattern("[^A-Za-z0-9]");
var m : Matcher = p.getMatcher("@");
logger.debug(m.matches()); // TRUE
var m : Matcher = p.getMatcher("@@");
logger.debug(m.matches()); // FALSE

Oops, little mistake. The example should read:
Regex re = new Regex("[^A-Za-z0-9]");
re.isMatch("Thisisatest135813"); // false
re.isMatch("This-is-another-test"); // true
Then negate.
Igor, in case you're wondering why your test worked, it's because * means 0
or more. You were matching nothing, and of course nothing is a valid match
(because of *) so it returned true.

I think you've misunderstood what he's trying to do. The pattern is quite
correct.
He's actually trying to match characters that are not allowed. Then all you
do is take the negation, and you've got an alphanumeric match. I'm not
familiar with your implementation, but in .NET I would say:
Regex re = new Regex("[^A-Za-z0-9]");
re.isMatch("This is a test 135813"); // false
re.isMatch("This-is-another-test"); // true
Then negate.

Actually talking, Pattern is incorrect.
Correct pattern must be: [^A-Za-z0-9]* (asterix at the end).
I've just tested it with current as2lib implementation and all works
properly.

That appears to be correct if you're returning !matches as a valid password.
I tested it actually (not in ActionScript) and it's fine. You should submit
a bug report.

Ah Igor just the man. I have just been playing with as2lib's regex classes
as it happens but would like a pointer or two if that's ok. I am trying to
use regex to check if a password is alpha numeric, this is the code:
function checkPass(strPassword:String):Boolean{
var regexPassword :Pattern = new
Pattern("[^A-Za-z0-9]");
var matchPassword :Matcher = new Matcher(regexPassword,
strPassword);
return matchPassword.matches();
}
It is always returning false, im sure my syntax is wrong. Can you point me
in the right direction please?
Jim

Hello Jim.
As2Lib (www.as2lib.org <http://www.as2lib.org/> ) has RegExp implementation.

Hey, Does anyone have an actionscript implementation of regular expressions?
