I can't figure out how to modify my regex to make sure the password follows the last condition:

• at least 2 capital letters in a row
• doesn't have space symbols
• contains digits
• doesn't contain 4 consecutive digits

{4} It currently disapproves the password if it has 4 and more digits but I need it to disapprove the password with EXACTLY 4 digits.

s1 = 'annII#443'
s2 = 'annII#4343'
s3 = 'annII#43434'

pattern = r"^(?=.*[A-Z]{2,})(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?!.*[0-9]{4})(?!.*[\s]).*$"

re.findall(pattern, s1) # ['aШnnII#443']
re.findall(pattern, s2) # []
re.findall(pattern, s3) # []

PS: It's just a task so don't worry. It's not gonna be used for any real purposes.

CodePudding user response：

1. To match exactly four digits, you can use at start ^ e.g. (?!(?:.*\D)?\d{4}(?!\d)).
   This requires start or a \D non-digit before the 4 digits and disallows a digit after.
2. (?=.*[A-Za-z]) looks redundant if you already require (?=.*[A-Z]{2,}) (2 upper).
3. {2,} two or more is redundant. {2} would suffice and does not change the logic.
4. Instead of (?!.*[\s]).*$ you can just use \S*$ (upper matches non-whitespaces).
5. It's generally more efficient to use lazy .*? or even a negated class where possible.

^(?=[^A-Z]*[A-Z]{2})(?=\D*\d)(?!(?:.*\D)?\d{4}(?!\d))\S*$
