I need to find a reg ex that only allows alphanumeric. So far, everyone I try only works if the string is alphanumeric, meaning contains both a letter and a number. I just want one what would allow either and not require both.

Answer
/^[a-z0-9]+$/i ^ Start of string [a-z0-9] a or b or c or ... z or 0 or 1 or ... 9 + one or more times (change to * to allow empty string) $ end of string /i case-insensitive
Update (supporting universal characters)
if you need to this regexp supports universal character you can find list of unicode characters here.
for example: /^([a-zA-Z0-9u0600-u06FFu0660-u0669u06F0-u06F9 _.-]+)$/
this will support persian.
