An asp.net regular expression validation, or a javascript regular expression validation?
If you just want the regex to ensure the length is 0 to 200 try something like this:

Well.... the period (.) matches any character other than a newline character. So, there's lots of ways to rewrite it to compensate. You could write the regex like this:
or check for a decimal character or a non decimal character:
or an alphanumeric character and a non alphanumeric character:
They all pretty much do the same thing.

Code:
/(.|\n){0,200}/
Code:
/(\d|\D){0,200}/
Code:
/(\w|\W){0,200}/They all pretty much do the same thing.
