Javascript regex for alphabetic characters and spaces?
You can use this to match a sequence of a-z, A-Z and spaces:
/[a-zA-Z ]+/
If you're trying to see if a string consists entirely of a-z, A-Z and spaces, then you can use this:
/^[a-zA-Z ]+$/
Demo and tester here: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/mQhga/.
For other regex symbols, there are tons of references on the internet. This is the one I have bookmarked and look at regularly: http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/redev2.shtml.
And, you can practice in an online tool here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html.
/^[A-Za-z ]+$/
or /^[A-Za-z\s]+$/
More good stuff here:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html
or just /\w+$/
if you also want 0-9 and underscores (\w stands for "word character", usually [A-Za-z0-9_]
). But your recent edit indicates that you dont want 0-9, so use one of the first 2 above.
