5 consonants or more

Postby Valmont » Mon Jan 05, 2015 5:34 pm

Hi ,

How do I make a regex to match at least 5 consonants in a row,? It's for the ctrl+W poster lockout. T.

Yeah that's good. A shortcut would be:

[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{5}

You can use the {number} to set a range of matchs too. {6,9} for instance.

I was thinking about negating vowels and bogged down. This is better.
