RegEx

[Deadweight]

I am trying to make a regex that only allows letters/number/and forward slash
However there are a few exceptions:
Before and after the slash can only contain up to 1,9 characters and cannot start or end with a slash.
EG: 8ajsdl/kjadh which is valid.

Current regex i am trying is:

or
var patt = /^(([a-zA-Z]{1,9})+([\/]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1,9})+|([a-zA-Z]{1,9}))$/

Background/why you want this, is always helpful.

Also, what problems is it giving you?

[jscheuer1]

Perhaps:

/^(([a-z\d]{1,9})+(\/{1}[a-z\d]{1,9})+|([a-z\d]{1,9}))$/i

Still, as I say, knowing why you want to do this, as well as what you see as the problem with what you currently have, could help us in answering your question.

Oops sorry i forgot to put what the problem was.
If i place over 9 characters in the first part (here)/ads it still would be valid.

[jscheuer1]

In that case, how about:

/^(([a-z\d]{1,9})(\/{1}[a-z\d]{1,9})+|([a-z\d]{1,9}))$/i;

There is a possibility that you may have better results employing 2 or more regular expressions, one to validate the sort of characters, another one or two to validate the number of characters in which positions, perhaps even, logic like:

if(passes one test){must also pass other test}else{must pass yet another different test}

if you get my meaning.
