I am trying to make an name validation Regex expression, to check, if name is passed in correct format. It needs to be in format like - 'John', 'Sarah', so, no whitespaces allowed, no other characters allowed and no numbers allowed. Also, the first letter has to be capital, and all other letters following has to be non capital letters.
I have tried writing some regex expressions and checking them on regexr, but expression that works there, does not work correctly in C#
Can someone share solution to exclude any other character, that IS NOT a letter?
For me it seems, that there are some differences between regex used on regexr and regex used in C# and thats why the expression that works on regexr, does not work in C#
Thank you in advance! :)
EDIT:
For example:
Expression is - ([A-Z]{1}[a-z]*)\w+.
In regexr, it has to be 1st capital letter, then any other letter, all whitespaces or other characters excluded. When I copy this in my C# project, it still allows to write whitespaces or other symbols like . ; , etc.
EDIT2: C# implementation looks like this:
string name = nameCapitalLetterCheck_textBox.Text.ToString();
string nameFormat = @"([A-Z]{1}[a-z]*)\w+";
if (Regex.IsMatch(name,nameFormat))
{
nameCapitalLetterCheck_result.Text = "OK";
nameCapitalLetterCheck_result.Foreground = green;
nameCapital_hint.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
}
else
{
nameCapitalLetterCheck_result.Text = "Error";
nameCapitalLetterCheck_result.Foreground = red;
nameCapital_hint.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
