I have the following regex

^[^\s-#]+\s?[^\s-#]*[^\s-#]{2,32}#[0-9]{4}$

Rules:

format must be STRING#dddd , a string, followed by hashtag, followed by 4 digits
the string cannot start or end with space or "-" or hashtag
no double spaces
the string must be between 2 and 32 chars long

The above regex works. The only rule i haven't managed to implement is the last one

Add `(?=.{2,32}$)` after `^` – Wiktor Stribiżew Oct 25 '18 at 16:50
@rv7that doesn't work. i need every char outside of -,# and doublespace – John Oct 25 '18 at 17:05
