To validate the length of a multiline textbox, I'm told that I have to use a
regular expression validator. The regular expression below limits it to 25
characters in length, but if the user enters a hard return, it bombs
regardless of length. How do you allow hard returns in the following
regular expression? Thanks in advance!

Mark,
Sorry, I took that expression from another forum's post. I had never
actually tested it myself. My bad. I just played around a bit. Try this
instead: ^[\s\S]{0,10}$

Use a regular expression validator with the expression "(.|\r|\n){0,25 5}"
replacing the 0 and 255 with the minimum and maximum lengths that you need.

Hi all,
I am trying to use a regular expression validator to check
for the existence of PO Box in an address textbox. The
business rule is "No addresses with PO Boxes are allowed."
What I want to happen is the Regular Expression Validator
to return false only when the string contains PO Box.
Currently it is false even when a valid address exists.

Does anyone know a regular expression that will validate the file extension
but also allow multiple file extensions if necessary. It also needs to be
case insensitive. Basically, what I want is to validate a file input box to
check if the extension is the correct type, i.e. .doc for a Word Document
etc. Also I would like to check multiple file types, for instance allow a
gif or a jpeg or a jpg.
Regards, Chris.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
