i was going to ask the below question till i found the page on "regular

expressions"!

http://www.stars.com/Authoring/ASP/FormHandling/regular_expressions.html



this is a page for anyone who needs to know more about mangling text. thought

i'd share in case someone might find it handy. :-)

(i was going to ask:

i need to mangle some text and can't seem to find anything about looking for

certain characters. i basically need to take a string of text and look at it to

make sure there is at least 1 number and and at least 1 letter, but overall 8

or more characters in length (i found the "len" function.).

)
