Alpha Numeric Validation with a set character range | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello!
I'm trying to set up a regex validation between 6-7 characters that could be either numbers or letters, I was trying to work with this code:
[a-zA-Z0-9]{6,7}
But the code isn't validating, it's letting anything in. Can someone let me know what's wrong with the above?

You are not enforcing a string length, therefore, even if the text is 100 chars long, as long as it had a sequence of 6 or 7 letters and numbers, it'll pass.
Add the start of and end of string tokens to get it to work:

^[a-zA-Z0-9]{6,7}$

Yes. You can read more and even tryout things here: regex101.com
