Django URL use string in regex

Question

Currently my regex takes a question id like so (working):

url(r'^(?P<college_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.detail, name="detail")

But I want it to instead take college_name which is a string with no spaces. How would I set that up?

Answer 1

You could use r'^(?P<college_name>\\w+)/$'
