Using RegularExpressionValidator to validate the length of a String

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:48:23 +0000

This post I’ll keep short and sweet.

If you are using a Regular Expression Validator you will have the problem that if you use a line break it won’t validate when you write something like ^.{0,n}$ ~~even though the dot is supposed to match anything~~

Apparently the dot isn’t supposed to match new line characters

I took the following from http://weblogs.asp.net/cosgood/archive/2003/05/06/6604.aspx although the wrong bracket is used to close off the cardinality

^(.|\s){0,n}$

That’s it, just remember to escape the backslash depending on where you are setting the expression.

I’ve found a research project I wish to support. Its researching the change of our life experience and emotional state over our lifetime. There is a short online survey for it that I really think is worth doing, I will make sure to post the results once its done. The survey is at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=tYfdIfntrXcS1AK08nVEig_3d_3d

New Blog

Well I’ve decided to restart my blog entirely, I’m getting rid of my dedicated server, back on shared hosting for 5 euro a month with blacknight and switched to wordpress because lets face it, its easier to use than drupal.

Time for me to start sorting out name servers, but I have the feeling I’ll be posting here a lot more regularly, at least for a while. Watch this space.
