in thread stuck on regexp
To make the username no longer than 30 characters use this:
/^[A-Za-z][-.\w]{1,29}$/
This will match when the first character is [A-Za-z] and is followed by 1 to 29 characters of form [-.\w] (thus making the total length of username from 2 to 30 characters)
And yes, \w caters for [a-zA-Z0-9_]
