正则表达式仅接受希腊字符

Question

I have this regular expression ^[A-Za-z]{2,3}[0-9]{3,4}$ with which I validate in an input field so that it has 2 or 3 letters and 3 or 4 numbers

I want to accept only greek characters.

I tried this ^[α-ωΑ-Ω]{2,3}[0-9]{3,4}$ from PHP and regexp to accept only Greek characters in form but with no luck

i also tried ^[\\p{Greek}]{2,3}[0-9]{3,4}$ but again no luck

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You may match chars with \\p{Greek} and you must use the /u modifier:

'~^\p{Greek}{2,3}[0-9]{3,4}$~u'

See the regex demo .

Pattern details

• ^ - start of string
• \\p{Greek}{2,3} - 2 or 3 Greek chars
• [0-9]{3,4} - 3 or 4 ASCII digits
• $ - end of string.
