I'm trying to validate the length of characters in a text box. Google seems
to turn up a few examples of using the regex validator with this expression:
^[\S\s]{1, 50}$
(one being minimum length, 50 being maximum).
However, on my page, no matter the length, this validator is always coming
up as invalid. Is the expression incorrect?

The ^ and $ shouldn't be used in a RegularExpressi onValidator. The space
in the quantifier might be a problem also.
[\S\s]{1,50}

-Darrel
ValidationExpre ssion="[\S\s]{10,50}"
Can also be
ValidationExpre ssion="[\w\s]{10,50}" - word or whitespace
The second is actually better, as it gets rid of garbage. Unlikely someone
can type the garbage in, however, so the risk is not high either way.

I'm trying to have a form where a user has to enter a valid email address, and
I'm trying to use the RegEx Validation control to do that. The problem is that
when a user submits the form with a blank line, it is ACCEPTED even though it
does not pass the pattern match in the expression.
Another problem is that if there are leading spaces or trailing in a valid email
address, the expression fails.
Case 1:(blank) : ...

How can I control if "a textbox is empty or not" with regex validation? I

For example, if I want to control if it's a time value, I use
"(()|())()" but it doesn't work when textbox
is empty. How can I solve this problem? I want user to fill this area.
And by the way, if I try to use a req field validator for this, my...

Here is an interesting one. Running asp.net 2.0 beta 2. I have a regular
expression used in a regex validator that works on the client side in
Firefox but not in IE. Any ideas? IE always reports the field is invalid.
The expression is:
^(?!\d)(?=.*\d)(?=.*)(?=.*)(?=.*).{8,25}$
If I enter "Test_Field1" Firefox considers it valid on client side, IE
doesnt. Server side considers it valid too because when I submit the form in

I see signs that the ASP.NET regular expression validator has a different
instruction set that the Find utility in VS 2003.
I am trying to use the VS2003 regular expression Find tool to test regular
expressions for use in a ASP.NET validator. The results I am getting are
inconsistent . What works in VS does not always work in ASP.NET and vice
versa. For example:

Hi,
I need to validate a textbox to have exactly 4 characters that represent the
number 0001 to 9999 (cannot be 0000).
The regext I came up with rather long:
^(\d){3} | \d{2}\d | \d\d{2} | \d{3}$
and not easilily extendable should the need arise for say 5 or 6 numbered
text.

Hi All,
I would like to know how I can limit users to only registering usernames
which have alphanumberic characters and one underscore.
From what I understand is I can use a regex to do this. But I have no
idea how to do it. I have only used a customfieldvalidor before. And the
reason I cant do it now is because of the design of the page itself.
So basically I need to know how, upon a button click, I can compare the
text entered in a...
