Allow a period, too, for names like "St. Laurent" "^[-a-zA-Z0-9' .]+$" > Street Address: Same as above, with # Again, periods for "Ave." "^[-a-zA-Z0-9#' .]+$" > City: Just ' ?? I'd allow space and period, too, for "Ft. Gordon" for example. "^[-a-zA-Z0-9' .]+$" > As I said, I'm looking for input, and how to actually > write these expressions.
