I have a problem with some regular expression's length the deal is that this Regex :
^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*(?:[_ .][A-Za-z0-9]+)*$
should only accept strings like :
[str][White space or . or _][str][White space or . or _][str]...[str]
[White space or . or _] : should not be repeated in the same sequence.
My question is how can i limit the full string's length to between {6,12} , i tried with :
^[[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*(?:[_ .][A-Za-z0-9]+)*]{6,12}$
But it didn't work well it causes the repetition of [White space or . or _] beside it allows them to be at the edges of the string.
Best regards.
You can make use of a lookahead for this:
^(?=.{6,12}$)[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*(?:[_ .][A-Za-z0-9]+)*$
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Makes sure the coming match is between 6 to 12 characters long.
