Regular Expression Question

[medic2000]

I have this regular expression:

preg_match("/^[A-Za-zıİÜÖüöĞÇŞğçş\(\)\s]*$/", $word)

I want it to pass only letters, parentheses and one space between words. Space for words like "take heart".

But it allows more than one space(or whitespace) like "take \ \ \ heart".(this forum does not allow it so we can see only one whitespace now). What i need to change to make it correct?

preg_match("/^[A-Za-zıİÜÖüöĞÇŞğçş\(\)\s]*$/", $word)

I want it to pass only letters, parentheses and one space between words. Space for words like "take heart".

But it allows limited spaces like "take heart". What i need to change to make it correct?
Try


/^([A-Za-zıİÜÖüöĞÇŞğçş\(\)]*\s?)+$/

Try


/^([A-Za-zıİÜÖüöĞÇŞğçş\(\)]*\s?)+$/


Unfortunately it doesn't work. It still allows more than one whitespace :(

Ah yes, sorry, so it would. Change the * after the ] to a + and that should solve it.

This works great! Thank you so much! :)
