query? Trying to restrict length of string with RegEx

[Martyn Houghton]

I am trying to use RegEx validation to restrict the length of a field to 30 characters, but having issues with the RegEx criteria.

^.{1,30}

Testing it in the Progressive Capture Editor and in submitting a request, it is not stopping the user from entering more than 30 characters.

Anyone can clarify where I going wrong with the RegEx expression?

Cheers

@Martyn Houghton In one of our form we use ^.{1,30}$

I am not sure what the $ does but it then seems to work

@Kelvin

That did the trick. Thanks.

$ is end of line.
