Hi there

How can i achive this

I need to add the below rule to this regex  ^[\s-a-zA-Z]{2,40}

Blanks and hyphens must be preceded and followed by alphabetic characters.

Many thanks

Dipendra

^(?=[\sa-zA-Z-]{2,40}$)(?!^[\s-]|.*(?:[\s-]{2}|[\s-]$)).*$

dipendra:

Blanks and hyphens must be preceded and followed by alphabetic characters.

Here's how I understood that requirement:

• string cannot start or end with [\s-] since there's no way for an alphabetic character to precede and follow [\s-] in that case
• there cannot be any [\s-] followed by another [\s-] since an alphabetic character is required to follow it, since there are only [\s-] and [a-zA-Z] allowed in the string that rule should cover the requirement of [a-zA-Z] preceding [\s-].

Thank you for your help.
