Subject: Total string length regex

So I have a complicated regex, and I need to have a condition that
checks the total number of characters in a string, on top of the other
conditions.

(this is for a username, to make sure they don't put more than one
special character in a row)

/^\w(?:\w*(?:[-\.]\w+)?)*$/

How would I limit the total string length for this regex to be between x
and y characters?

thanks
