the string start with character following with number(both the character and number can be empty), but the total length should be no more than 8.
my solution is
([a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*){0,8}
seems like total length 8 cannot work, so how to do that
To check length of string with regex you can use look ahead mechanism and add (?=^.{0,8}$)
at start of regex. ^
is anchor representing beginning of data, $
represents end.
But in your case I would probably use something like
someString.matches("^(|[a-zA-Z]\\d{0,7})$")
It will accept
I think this will work ([a-zA-Z]|[0-9]){0,8}
