[Solved] Help with regular expressions

[kbt90]

I am trying to create a regular expression for a QLineEdit.

The first character can be any of the following characters, except a '.'.
The next 0 to 255 characters can be any of the characters listed.

The following is my code:
@QRegExp rx ("[A-Za-z0-9!#%&',+;={}~@()\-\[\]\^\$]{1} [A-Za-z0-9.!#%&',+;={}~@()\-\[\]\^\$]{0,255}");
lineEdit->setValidator (new QRegExpValidator (rx, this));@

If I just have the {0,255} expression in, it works just fine. But, once I add the {1} part in, I can only enter 1 character on my QLineEdit. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kate

It looks like it's expecting a space after your first character. (Between the {1} and the [A-Za-z...)

Thanks so much! That was the problem.
