struts validation mask

[ivin jacob]

Hi all,

I am not much aware about regular expressions .

I need to restrict user input of a text box to alphabets only

but it may contain space or a dot in beteween lettes .


So how do i write the <var-value> in the validation.xml



Also can anyone paste me a good link where i can study all the regular expressions

Please help.

I'm not much of a regex expert, either, but here's a link to a good beginning article on regex:

Try this, it should work

<var-value>^[a-zA-Z\s.]*$</var-value>
