Thanks for the reply Ludde. The regexp works now on english characters
but
won’t accept german characters (äöüÃ?). Any ideas? Does /^\w+$/ work on
all
swedish characters?
Regards
Adam

Hi there,
I’m trying to validate a field in my form to make sure that it is a single
word (i.e. no spaces). This word may however contain german characters.I have in my model:
validates_format_of :name,
:with => %r{\w+},
:message => “cannot contain special characters or spaces”
:with => /^\w+$/,
Will probably do what you want. ^ matches the beginning of the string
and $ matches the end.
