Regular Expression

Hi all,

Can anyone please tell the meaning of the regular expression

[\w{1,32}]

\w matches word characters (letters, numbers and underscore)
{1,32} means 1-32 characters

See http://www.regular-expressions.info/ for next time.

You need to add the start and end modifiers: ^ and $ respectively.
