I want to match all words that doesn't include alphabet [a-zA-Z] init.
Pass cases
- Some Name
- Another3 [VLT]
- Also! (This)
Fail cases
- Not 42 this
- This is wrong (!)
- Wrong #!
I tried this regex /\b[^a-zA-Z ] \b/ but it fails for some cases
CodePudding user response：
You can use
(?<!\S)[^A-Za-z\s] (?!\S)
See the regex demo.
Details:
(?<!\S)- left-hand whitespace boundary[^A-Za-z\s]- one or more chars other than whitespace and ASCII letters (use[^\p{L}\s]to support all Unicode letters if supported)(?!\S)- right-hand whitespace boundary.
