It's not that hard:

(                   # Start of group
    (?=.*\d)        #   must contain at least one digit
    (?=.*[A-Z])     #   must contain at least one uppercase character
    (?=.*[a-z])     #   must contain at least one lowercase character
    (?=.*\W)        #   must contain at least one special symbol
    \w
       .            #   match anything with previous condition checking
        {6,18}      #   length is  characters
    \w 
)                   # End of group

In one line:

((?=.*\d)(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*\W)\w.{6,18}\w)

If you do not like \w which is equal to [a-zA-Z0-9_] replace it with that group and remove the underscore.

However, I fully support ctwheels' argument.
