regex - more than 10 characters

Question

How do you indicate a regex that you want to require more than 10 characters? I know that \'*\' is more than 0, and that \'+\' is more than 1 but what is syntax for requir

Answer 1

You use brace notation. For instance, the regex a{10,} would match 10 or more a characters. a{10,20} would match at least 10 and no more than 20 as.

Answer 2

It depends on what your regex looks like, but this probably will work:

[^stuff]{10,}

• {10,} matches at least 10.
• {,10} matches at most 10.
• {10,15} matches between 10 and 15.
