Password validation check
I would like to check a user's password as they enter it to make sure it has Capital letters, numbers and a special characters. I have the code to pass and check the information as it is being entered. but is there a easy way to find out if at least one on the characters being passed in the form filed is a Capital letter, number and a special character?

Now you just changed my thought process, is there a way to tell them if there password is Week, Good or Strong as they type their password using this code. Should I ask this in a new question on Expert-exchange?
(no points...)
If you do use a big combined regex, be sure to understand it. I'm not so hot with regex's so I usually use smaller ones so I know they work they way they want.
I think the "weak,strong,.." question should be a new thread. But I think the answer depends on your criteria. Anyway you might want to check cflib.org and see what it has to offer in the area of password functions, like

Good luck!
