How To Validate The Length Of A Textarea Using A Regular Expression Validator
May 19, 2010
I'm looking to validate the length of a textarea using a regular expression validator. It should allow all characters and crlfs. I'm also concerned about crlfs counting as 1 or 2 characters, I'm concerned it may be different across browsers but I'm hoping ASP.NET regulates it. Also, I'm saving to a mix of varchar and nvarchar fields in MSSQL, do I need to be concerned about the way crlfs are saved there? I'm in a hurry to do this right, so I'll be researching all this on my own but I'm just hoping someone out there might have experience handling such concerns.
I would like to validate the textbox for specific text and it must not be blank. But the regular expression validator is not validating if the text box is BLANK. However, it validates if I type something in the text box.
How can I make regular expression to trigger even if the text box is empty?
Should I use Required Validator + Regex Validator at the same time?
I'm trying to use the validator to work on a email form to ensure that they enter a valid from email address. That part works. I also want to add to the expression the text that I pre-populate in the txtbox ("Enter your email address") so on postback, after sending the message, I can clear the fields and repopulate that box.
How do I add that wording to the current expression: w+([-+.']w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w+([-.]w+)*
I am using Regular Expression validator for a text box. The below is working fine.It is not performing validation when I enter values like 0000..001.How can I modify validation expression? But it would allow values like 100,...5000 i.e zeros after a number.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="reg2" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rng2" ValidationExpression="^[0-9]+" ErrorMessage="*Please Enter a Valid Number for Second Range." ForeColor="Red" Font-Bold="True"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
i have a textbox in my web form and i want to input any word with any character. so, only i want to check length of textbox less than 200 character. how can i do it with regular expression? and if i want to block some character how can i do it?
In my ASP.NET Web Form I have a multiline TextBox which should be validated with RegularExpression Validator. Text box should contain one ore more strings "a" (just 'a' char, nothing else).
So far I got these regular expressions for my RegularExpressionValidator object:
(?m:(^a$)+) (?m:A(^a$)+) (?m:^a$)
Neither works. :) Guess there is something fundamental I'm not getting yet.
I'm having a hard time trying to create a right regular expression for the RegularExpressionValidator control that allows password to be checked for the following:- Is greater than seven characters.- Contains at least one digit.- Contains at least one special (non-alphanumeric) character.Cant seem to find any results out there too.
I need to construct a regular expression for the password textbox, Min:8,Max:16 and must include atleast a number(0-9),alphabets upper and lower case. I am unable to limit the length to 16.
first character is in caps and the rest of the name is in small for Firstname Space first character is in caps and the rest of the name is in small for lastname
I have a page with required field and regular expression validators. I noticed recently that some of the regular expression validators (the regex validators on the Date fields) are not firing. What should I be looking at to troubleshoot this?
When I added Regular Expression validator on FileUpload Control, Page.IsValid returns false & Data is not Saved. I had used Regular Expression Validator like this:

Earlier my text box was running on this Validation Expression="^[a-zA-Z'.s-]{1,80}$", to allow only alphabets,Ā Ā ' . s . Now my text box should be capable of taking Chinese characters as well, so I wasĀ learntĀ onlineĀ to use this p{L} for unicodeĀ instead of Ā a-zA-Z, and set EnableClientScript="false".
I want to validate a textbox with regular expression so you only can enter numeric characters, but now I want that the error validation appear if the textbox be empty. here is the code
Types.Add("NUMBER", new Validation(@"[d]{1,255}","Only numbers can be entered in this field."));
