    Hello,
    I'm implementing a series of QLineEdits which I have to validate. In one case, I only want to permit exactly 8 characters no more no les. Right now I have this:

    @
    lineEdit->setValidator(new QRegExpValidator(QRegExp("([a-zA-Z0-9]){8}"), this));
    @

    But it also allowds expressions of less than 8. Any suggestions?
    Thank you!!

      How do you intend to put the characters into the line edif when the validator would block input of less than 8 chars? I think your current solution is fine. You just need to check it later for correctnes (for example, when edit is finished, or user clicks some button).
