This will test if there is at least 1 alphabetic character or 1 numeric character. If you want to fix a minimum length just increase the value 2 before the comma to the minimum length you require. It also accepts most punctuation characters.<br />
<br />
\A(?=[!-/:-@[-\x60{-\x7E\x<wbr />80a-zA-Z0-<wbr />9]*?[a-zA-<wbr />Z])(?=[!-/<wbr />:-@[-\x60{<wbr />-\x7E\x80-<wbr />_a-zA-Z0-9<wbr />]*?[0-9])\<wbr />S{2,}\z<br />
<br />
If you don't want to accept punctuation or want to modify which may be accepted you simply need to edit from the ! to the \x80 in each of the character classes [] before the *?<br />

This solution doesn't use the hex values so it might be a bit clearer to my previous one.<br />

\A(?=[!-/:-@\[-`{-~€a-zA-Z<wbr />0-9]*?[a-z<wbr />A-Z])(?=[!<wbr />-/:-@\[-`{<wbr />-~€-_a-zA-<wbr />Z0-9]*?[0-<wbr />9])\S{2,}\<wbr />z

<div>
 /\d/ &amp;&amp;&nbsp;/[[:alpha:]]/<br />
in Perl would define alphabetic according to the current locale
</div>


/\d/ && /[[:alpha:]]/
in Perl would define alphabetic according to the current locale

alphabetic and numeric character check

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
