How to validate using RegularExpressionValidator

[haifriends]

Hi everyone,

I'm using ASP.NET and i designed a page which contains many text boxes. I've used RegularExpressionValidator for validation.

Now i want to validate a text box which should accept alphabets (a-z and A-Z), comma(,), dot(.), open bracket((), close bracket()), blank space and hypen(-) in any order.
eg. SD.RE - (ad.sd., sd.we.,)

To accept all these characters, how to write a expression.


Can anyone help me.

This is ur need:
Expression
((\w|\W)(\w|\W)(.))*

Ok good luck.

Thank you.

This accepts only 3 characters, but i need expression that accepts more than 3 characters. Characters should not accept numbers(0-9), special characters such as #, @, $, %, !.....
Should accept alphabets, space, hypen(-), dot(.), comma(,), open bracket and close bracket.

Can anyone help me.

I'm not sure if it works but try this simple regular expression: [A-Za-z,.()- ]*

why dont you go to the Regex Library Website. theres literally thousands of Regex expressions catalogued and there is a regex tester, its certinally more helpful than posting messages to an unrelated forum trying to get your answers.
