title: Regex Expression to Limit Character Count in Google Form
body: <p>I am trying to get a regular expression working in Google forms to limit the number of characters in a form.  I have tried a number of strings of code I have found online, but it does not seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>The first string I tried was this, and it actually seemed to work for a bit but then stopped working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[\w]{1,800}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The second I tried was this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>^\W*(\w+(\W+|$)){1,200}$
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any suggestions as to why these won't work?  Also, should it be "regular expression", and then "contains" or "Matches?</p>
