  Regular Expression Validator: Allow Alphanumeric Characters and Space Only

  Apr 10, 2007 06:56 PM|LINK

   

  I'm trying to use a Regular Expression Validator that allows only Alphanumeric characters and spaces.

   

  My expression "^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$" seems to be working only if there are no spaces. How do I modify the expression to allow Space?

   

  Thanks.

  Try adding a space in the expression like this:

  "^[0-9a-zA-Z ]+$"

  hmmm....  "\w"  should be a letter, digit, or space character

  Try this

  validationexpression="[0-9a-zA-Z' ']{5,} 

  This code will accept Alpha, Numeric and space. Also it will check minimum of 5 characters should be entered.
