Regex to Allow Special Characters, Spaces and Alphanumeric in jQuery

Mar 5, 2014
Introduction

Here I will explain 
JQuery regular expression to allow special characters, spaces and alphanumeric text or regular expression to allow special characters, spaces and alphanumeric characters in JQuery.

Description:
  
In previous articles I explained
jQuery regular expression to validate url without http(s), regular expression to validate phone number in jquery, regular expression to replace all special characters with spaces in c#, regex email validation in c# and many articles relating to validation, JQuery. Now I will explain regular expression to allow special characters and spaces.

To allow special characters and spaces we need to write the regular expression like as shown below


var re = /^[ A-Za-z0-9_@./#&+-]*$/

If you want see it in complete example need to write the code like as shown below


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Regex to allow special characters, spaces and alphanumeric</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#btnValidate').click(function() {
var txt = $('#txtdesc').val();
var re = /^[ A-Za-z0-9_@./#&+-]*$/
if (re.test(txt)) {
alert('Valid Text')
}
else {
alert('Please Enter Valid Text');
return false;
}
})
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
Enter Text :<input type="text" id="txtdesc" />
<input type="button" id="btnValidate" value="Validate" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
