OT: Quickie RegEx question for gurus.

[lists@xxxxxxx]

Soz, but this is killing me - it should be soooooo simple but it ain't :(

I need to validate that a string is at least 3 characters long.
fine, I use an expression of:
/^.{3,}$/

Works fine....except if there is a new line in the string being searched -
then
I just get nothing :(
I tried:
/^.{3,}\s*\S*$. which, would appear to say "Match at least three
characters
(not \n though) then 0 or more white space followed by 0 or more non white
space.
Still don't work :(

any thoughts peeps?

thanks,

Tony
