Regex wiseguy or girl

Hi,

I need a regex for my password. I tried this [a-zA-Z0-9_]{6,25} but this is
not exactly what I need.

The password total length must be between 6 and 25 characters.
Character that are allowed are a...z (lower and uppercase), numbers (0..9)
and these !@#$%^&*(){}<>?.
The space character is not allowed.

I hope someone can help me.

Thank you!

Quite easy...

^[a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*(){}<>?\.]{6,25}$

One question though... why limit your users creativity. The harder to guess
the better I'd say...

Exactly. Pass phrases rock, and they're pretty darn hard to implement
without spaces....
