I am scratching my head around for this small yet confusing requirement that I have.
I need a regular expression for the name field which only allows letters, apostrophes, full stops, mas and hyphens. Name field also should not allow more than 150 characters.
Any help would be much appreciated!

But if I have numbers at the end of string like test1, it does not work. – user869375 Commented Nov 6, 2012 at 16:10
- Is allowing numbers a requirement? You didn't specify that in the question. What language are you using? Can you give some example data showing what should match and what should not match? – Bill the Lizard Commented Nov 6, 2012 at 16:12

Reset to default 12Use regex pattern
^[a-zA-Z'.,-]{0,150}$
If minimum length is also required, replace 0 with such number...
