Question

Trying to get the correct regex for this – only letters, spaces, hypens, and commas. So far this only works if you only input 1 charactor. Any more then that, and it returns false. Anyone able to help?

$('#submit').click(function () {
    var locationtest = /[^a-zA-Z \-\.\,]/;
    if (!locationtest.test($('#location').val())) {
        alert('Nope, try again!');
        $('#location').val('')
        return false;
    } else {
        alert('You got it!');
    }

});`

Answer 1

This should do it, it matches 1 or more characters within the set you described

/^[a-zA-Z \-\,]+$/

I took out the \., your description says letters, spaces, hyphens, commas
