Re: simple regex for names or last names

I just recently spent a lot of time doing this without the lingua module. I can tell the most important thing you can do is to know your data format. If you post your data format I can help you come up with a few things probably.

Hello,

I'm not sure, but is this question just asking to allow a field with aphabetical characters along with a - and . ?

Of course like davidrw, a name can also contain a '.



unless ( param('Company Name') =~ /^[\w.\'-]+$/) {
   print "Invalid characters in name. Only alphanumeric characters and
+ the following symbols . ' - _  are allowed.";
}


Thanks,
