Last week you all helped me with a regex I thought I had licked, but turns up there is a problem.
I can't quite figure it out as usual. To refresh, I have a customer name field that requires:
- Minimum 3 characters
- Only alpha characters
- Can include a wildcard character of '*' (in which case you would require 4 characters)
To that end I had this:
var namematch = /^[a-zA-Z]{3,}$/.test(nametext.value);
namematch = (namematch || /^[a-zA-Z\*]{4,}$/.test(nametext.value));
Which worked just fine, till we realized we need to allow one or more SPACES as well! How do you
add a space to the pattern? (and allow for as many spaces as they like?)
TIA
