Regex match strings less than 150 chars in length

Question

I've been having no luck with a simple regex to match strings with 150 or less characters to alert my users of descriptions being too short.

These description values can contain any character/number with no specific pattern. Can someone with regex knowledge lend a hand?

Answer 1

^.{0,150}$

This will match a whole string containing between 0 and 150 (inclusive) of any character. Though regular expressions are probably the wrong tool for this job.
