help with Regular Expression

[demo7up]

I need something like this

^([1-9]|[1-4][0-9]|50)$

but to only allow 6 chars but only numbers and letters thanks

^([a-zA-Z0-9]{6})$

--------------- Added [DATE]1323036650[/DATE] at [TIME]1323036650[/TIME] ---------------

this might work, or get you going in the right direction. not the best at regex

--------------- Added [DATE]1323036760[/DATE] at [TIME]1323036760[/TIME] ---------------

would be easier if we knew what this was going to be used for.

you can test your expressions with
http://regexlib.com and the Regex tester link

i get this error when i add that to the custom field and the text i am entering is "nycjdm" w/o the quotes

You did not enter the correct format for the License Plate Text field. Please read the field description for the expected format.

Well, what is the "field description for the expected format"?
