I have a regular expression which I do not understand. The expression is:

/^[A-Za-z\s\.\(\)]{3,}$/

The problem I am having is that I would have a name, e.g The Test 11 and that is fine, but this regular expression is returning false on anything with a number after it. Can anyone help me out on this please?

    Well is returning false because you didn’t include numbers on your pattern, this should work:

    /^[A-Za-z\s.\(\)0-9]{3,}$/
    

    P.S. You need to escape ( and ) if you want those characters to be included in your pattern.
