正则表达式，至少一个字符和一个数字，重复不超过两个

Question

I am trying one of regular expression for condition like:

atleast 1 number, atleast 1 character, should be 3 to 16 digit long. No character and number should repeat more than 2 time.

I tried one regular expression here what i tried.

(^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-zA-Z]).{3,16}$)\1{2,}

but it did not do the trick.

example for valid and invalid post:

• advan@123 -valid

• advan@4 -valid

• advvvan@123 -invalid

• advan@11123 -invalid

• advan123 -valid
• 1231123123ab -valid
• advadvvadv12 -valid

Answer 1

You can try using this regex ( edited to fail strings that have triple consecutive symbols):

^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?!.*(.)\1\1.*).{3,16}$

See example here .
