RE: [PHP] Reg Exp Help

The password and int_id begin and end in fixed positions. password begins in position 13 and can occupy up to 8 characters int_id begins in position 21 and can occupy up to 4 characters Sometimes a password (or int_id) may occupy all of those fixed position or only some of the fixed positions, it's variable.
