I'm sorry I'm late. I haven't been able to get to my server for the past
several hours.
I'd have started with:
/(?=.*[a-z].*[a-z].*[a-z]).*\d.*\d/i
and migrated to:
/(?=(.*[a-z]){3}).*\d.*\d/i
(don't bother with the (.*\d){2} -- it's longer).
I probably would have thought about y/// after a while, but I can't pass
up a good regex. ;)
y/a-zA-Z//>2&&y/0-9//>1
is probably where I'd get to. I think RJK's attempt to cheat the system
fails:
y/a-zA-Z//&y/0-9//>1
fails for 4 and 3 (0100 & 0011 == 0).
