java regex validate the minmax length of input text
To validate the minimum and maximum length of input text using regular expressions in Java, you can use the following regular expression pattern:
String inputPattern = "^.{3,10}$";
This regular expression pattern matches inputs with a minimum length of 3 characters and a maximum length of 10 characters. The pattern matches any character (except a line break) between 3 and 10 times.
To use this regular expression to validate an input and ensure it meets the minimum and maximum length requirements, you can use the following code:
String input = "Hello, World!"; if (input.matches(inputPattern)) { System.out.println("Valid input: " + input); } else { System.out.println("Invalid input: " + input); }
In the example above, the "input" string is checked if it matches the "inputPattern" regular expression. If it does, it is considered a valid input with a length between 3 and 10 characters.
Note that while this regular expression pattern is a good starting point for validating the length of input text, it may not work for all cases. It's always a good idea to test your regular expression pattern against various inputs and to use additional validation methods (such as getting the length of the input string and comparing it to a predetermined range) to ensure the input is valid.
