Hello everybody,

what I want to realize with my regular expression is:

<description>bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla</description>

Every line must maximal be 50 characters long. But I want to avoid an CR is
added to the last line. So I don't want

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
</description>

The regular expression I have now is:

	((.{0,50}\n){0,})(.{0,50})

But with my editor it's still possible to enter without an error generation
of my validator.
Where am I wrong with my expression ?

Kind regards,
Ismaël
