I need a syntax that pulls a string that may be up to 10 numbers or could also include characters.

Hi Michelle Goodman‌,

Can you provide more details what you are trying to do?

Are you trying to limit the number of characters in a string? If so, Try with ^hA-Za-z0-9]{0,10}$ which allows you to limit the number of characters to 10. you can choose small/upper case and numbers.

Try to construct your regular expression in Online regex tester and debugger: PHP, PCRE, Python, Golang and JavaScript  and use it.

Thanks,

^w{1,10}$

^ asserts position at start of the string
w{1,10}
matches any word character (equal to [a-zA-Z0-9_])
{1,10} Quantifier — Matches between 1 and 10 times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)
$ asserts position at the end of the string, or before the line terminator right at

Hi Lakshmi

With ^^A-Za-z0-9]{0,10}$ will this pick up the text if it starts with numbers and then letters?

Thanks


Hi Michelle Goodman‌,

Yes it will allow either alphabets(small/upper) or numbers or mix up to 10 characters. If you want try in the Online regex tester and debugger: PHP, PCRE, Python, Golang and JavaScript site before once.

Thanks,
