Hey all.

I need to find out a regular expression for a DotNetNuke module I am building.

This is my ASP tag :

            <asp:regularexpressionvalidator id="valRegEx" runat="server">< asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="valRegEx" runat="server"
                ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
                ValidationExpression="???"
                ErrorMessage="Your entry is not a valid name."
                display="Dynamic">
            < /asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

The field I want to check (TextBox1) must contain only letters, spaces allowed. Can anyone point me out to the correct regular expression I should use ?

Thank you very much.

Google for "Regular Expression Library" and search around. You should be able to find something that you can use.

Google for "Regular Expression Tutorial" and you can learn to creat your own regular expressions.

Hi, For the case in point ValidationExpression="^[a-zA-z-' ]*$" should do it. I've added the hyphen and apostrophe characters on the assumption that you're checking for people's names and don't want to exclude Baba O'Riley and Basil Fotherington-Thomas, but if it's a different sort of name then just take them out of the expression. Cheers, Mark
