Here is what I want to accomplish:

1- User must enter 1 - 250 characters (numbers, letters, symbols, blank spaces)

2- User must enter 1-7 lines (if user hit the "enter" key for the 8th line, the expression would catch it)

Here is what I have so far:

 (.|\r|\n){1,255}

Can you please help me?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I beleive the Regex Validator does not validate on empty text--so you actually need an empty field validator as well.

With regards to your regex, I'm not sure how to catch it w/ 1 validator, but you could try breaking it up into two. 1 to test the overall length, and 2 to text the pattern.

Remember that . matches any character, including \r and \n.  To match any character excep those, use [^\r\n].
