title: Looking for a regex - 8 char min w/ 1 num and 1 char
body: <p>I'm looking for some help creating a regex that requires 8 char (at a minimum) along w/ 1 number and 1 char (not special char).</p>
  
  <p>example: a1234567 is valid but 12345678 is not</p>
  
  <p>Any help for a regex newb?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the quick replies- the implementation that worked in VB is shown below</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim ValidPassword As Boolean = Regex.IsMatch(Password, "^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-zA-Z])\w{8,}$")
  </code></pre>
