[ ]|[a-z0-9]{17}

Subject: Simple regex question


I'm in need of some regex help.  I am working with a cfinput and I need a
pattern for regex validation that does the following:

Field can be blank but if filled out has to be exactly 17 characters which
are a combination of letters and numbers (VIN number)

Know this is simple but Google seems to be failing me this morning.

Thanks,

Rick
