1) /^[\d]+$/ 2) /^([\u0600-\u06FF]+\s)*[\u0600-\u06FF]+$/ 3) /^([\u0600-\u06FF]+\d*\s)*[\u0600-\u06FF]+\d*$/
/ u is not supported, as Javascript regexes only supports unicode in terms of code points. \ x {???} (unicode codepoints) must be written \ u ???? in Javascript regex (always 4 digits 0 padded)
In these cases, the following applies to the rest of the regular expression:
- \ s in javascript is treated as unicode
- \ d - no, this means that only ASCII digits (0-9) are accepted.
This means that we must specifically allow "alien" numbers, for example. Persian (codepoints 06F0-06F9):
1) /^[\d\u06F0-\u06F9]+$/ 2) /^([\u0600-\u06FF]+\s)*[\u0600-\u06FF]+$/ 3) /^([\u0600-\u06FF]+[\d\u06F0-\u06F9]*\s)*[\u0600-\u06FF]+[\d\u06F0-\u06F9]*$/
(Delete \ d if ASCII digits should not be accepted)
Not sure what the brackets should do in Example 1, they could initially be written:
1) /^\d+$/
But to add Persian numbers, we need them, see above.
Update
The Spry mask mask, however, only requires that the regular expression be applied to each character entered, i.e. we actually cannot match patterns, this is just a “list” of accepted characters in all places, in which case:
1 ) /[\u06F0-\u06F9\d]/ // match 0-9 and Persian numerals 2 and 3) /[\u0600-\u06FF\d\s]/ // match all Persian characters (includes numerals), 0-9 and space
Delete \ d again if you do not want to accept 0-9.
Update 2
Now ... using regex to check with Spry:
var checkFullName = function(value, options) { // Match with the by now well-known regex: if (value.match(/^([\u0600-\u06FF]+\s)*[\u0600-\u06FF]+$/)) { return true; } return false; } var sprytextfield = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField( "sprytextfield", "custom", { validation: checkFullName, validateOn: ["blur", "change"] } );
A similar user function can be performed for case 3.
