Hello I was writing a Regular Expression (first time in my life I might add) but I just can't figure out how to do what I want. So far, so good since I already allow only Letters and spaces (as long as it's not the first character) now what I'm missing is that I don't want to allow any numbers in between the characters...could anybody help me please?
/^[^\s][\sa-zA-Z]+[^\d\W]/
If you only want to allow letters and spaces, then what you have is almost correct:
/^[a-zA-Z][\sa-zA-Z]*$/
The $ at the end signifies the end of the string.
Edited to correct answer, thanks to @Alnitak
OK, what you need is:
/^[a-zA-Z][\sa-zA-Z]*$/
This matches:
^ - start of line
[a-zA-Z] - any letter
[\sa-zA-Z]* - zero or more letters or spaces
$ - the end of the line
If you want to ensure that it also ends in a letter then put another
[a-zA-Z]
before the $. Note however that the string will then have to contain at least two letters (one at each end) to match.
If you want to ensure that spaces occur only between words, use this:
/^[A-Za-z]+(?:\s+[A-Za-z]+)*$/
