in thread REgular expression to check the string that allows "a","b" and "c" to occur only once in any order.

This looks like overkill.

If a string is required to contain all of an "a", a "b" and a "c" and its length is limited to 3, then it can only contain one of each.

So this ought to suffice: 

/^(?=.*a)(?=.*b)(?=.*c).{3}\z/

Of course, yours is the way to go if the length is not limited to 3.
