Validating a string

[shoby]

Hi,

I am writing code to validate a String.The validation should be such that the String can contain only alphabets.It should display an error message if the string contains any numbers or special characters.Can someone help me on this???

Regards,

Use regular expressions for that; the following code snippet solves it all; read
the API documentation for the Pattern class and String class for
an explanation:

[code=java]
public boolean isAllLetters(St ring s) {
return s.replaceAll("[a-zA-Z]+", "").length( ) == 0;
}
[/code]

kind regards,

Jos
