Exclude a certain number from this regex

By User



I have this regex that test for an input with max length of 5. My problem is I want to exclude the single digit of 2. If string contains only number "2", it should fail. How do I exclude number 2 in this regex? /^([a-zA-Z,\d]){1,5}$/












13425 - Match


03277 - Match


2 - Fail.

    /^(?!2$)([a-zA-Z,\d]){1,5}$/

So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
