Regular expression --> multiple line?

[Arjen]

Hi,

If the users enters some data it must be have 1 ... 100 characters. These
characters may be placed on multiple lines. (textbox)

I use this: .{1,100}
But this only works with one line.

What do I have to change in this: .{1,100}

Thanks!

This is actually much more complicated than it should be, the short answer
is to use (the very ineficient):

(.|\s){0,100}

the long answer is to read:

Arjen,

Use the single line option in the regex:

(?s).{1,100}

This will treat multiple lines as one single line.
