I want to dynamically validate my password with validates_format_of .

validates_format_of :password,:with => need to get regular expression
dynamically based up on the object setting.

class Admin < AR::Base

validates_format_of :password,:with => lambda {|admin|
admin.get_regular_exp}

def get_regular_exp
 self.advanced? ? /^[a-z]/ : /^[A-Z]/
end

end

when I run the application I am getting this error :

validates_format_of': A regular expression must be supplied as the :with
option of the configuration hash

I can still use this approach
validate :admin_password

But my client is very particular on using Rails default methods.

Is there any way to solve this issue.


Cheers,
Venkat.
