Try a regular expression:

C#

public static Regex regex = new Regex(
      "^([a-zA-Z]{1,6}$)|([a-zA-Z]{6}[\\w- ]*$)",
    RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
    | RegexOptions.Multiline
    | RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
    | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace
    | RegexOptions.Compiled
    );

Match m = regex.Match(InputText);
if (m.Success)
   {
   ...
