You can find regular expression primers all over the internet, but to
answer these specific questions: [...] means any of the characters in
the range; the $ means "end of string"; and {2,30} means at least two,
and at most thirty, of the preceding character. So you have to have
one from the first group, then 2-30 from the second, for a total of
3-31 characters in your names.
