Is it possible to write a regular expression that will validate lenght instead of value ?

I need to check that length of passed in value is greater than zero or its length equal to zero.

I know how to search for a specific value but don't know if I can check for length...

I need it to be a regular expression as I have a validator class that takes rules(regexp) and then I can execute a rule on a specific value.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

show us what worked for you then?

One pattern that might work:
Code:
"^.{5}$"
(exactly 5 of any character except newline)

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
