RE: Regex help maybe
Thanks to everyone. I managed to come up with one similar to Byron's example
and then tweaked it further (No spaces) so I could use it in JS on the
client and CF on the server. I knew I could do it in 2 or three steps but
wanted one step so I could hand off the regex to the client for validation.

Re: Regex help maybe
This would do one special, 3 consecutive numbers: ajfds123jdfs#
^(?=.*\d{3})(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+).{10,20}$
This would do one special, 3 numbers any position: a#bcdef2k3#4^
^(?=.*\d.*\d.*\d)(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+).{10,20}$
And if your restricting to just numbers and the special chars outline,
replace the last "." in either to this.
[\d\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]
So like this in the second variant:
^(?=.*\d.*\d.*\d)(?=.*[\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]+)[\d\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\+]{10,20}$
Plenty of online regex testers as well so you don't have to keep coding it
up to tweak.
I use this one a bit. http://regexpal.com/

Re: Regex help maybe
X{10,20} means that X should exist at least 10 times but no more than 20
times
[0-9] means any single number from 0 till 9
[0-9]{3} means any 3 numbers of 0-9 one after the other
[~!@#$%^&*()_+] means a single character from the set of characters defined
between the brackets
Now do you want 3 numbers one after the other or that there should be 3
numbers in the string total? Can you send a few example strings or talk
about how it will be used? Also, do you want a single regex to do it all or
can be it be in 2-3 steps (easiest)?
