RegEx for maximum length in JavaScript

Question

How can I limit the length of a string matching a RegEx

I assumed that var sixCharsRegEx = /^.{6,7}/ would only match strings of lengths 6 or 7

but no: http://jsfiddle.net/FEXbB/

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You are missing closing dollar at the end. Correct one is: /^.{6,7}$/
