Regular Expression

Hello,

I'm looking for a simple regular expression for the Regular Expression
validator that would allow any text, spaces and the line breaks and had a
minimum and maximum text length. Something like this one:

^([a-zA-z0-9\s]{8,64})$

This one doesn't allow line breaks and allows only alphanumeric characters.

For some reason I couldn't find it here: http://regexlib.com

I would appreciate your suggestions very much.

Thank you,

(?s)^.{8,64}

The "(?s)" indicates that the dot matches newline characters. Therefore, any
character qualifies as a match. The only thing limited is the number of
characters.

This is, by definition, not that.

(?s)^.{8,64}

doesn't allow me any characters...

Thanks,

Peter
