    1. OP didn't say anything about linefeeds so it's safe to assume they can be ignored
    2. OP didn't say that "_" is not allowed. It's "alphanumeric characters with underscores, one or more"
    3. OP's post is poorly written so expect a poorly written reply ;)

      It is true that the OP is not specific enough (far from that), but if you're suggesting /^[a-z0-9_]+$/i, you might as well suggest /^\w+$/. And this is even less specific than the examples shown by the OP.
