OK, this is off-topic like every other "regex help" post, but I know some of you enjoy these puzzles :) I need a validation regex that will "pass" a string. The string can be no longer than some maximum length, and it can contain any characters except two consecutive ampersands (&) anywhere in the string. I'm stumped - ideas?
