Regular Expression Arabic characters and numbers only
RegexUnicodeString MatchingRegex Problem Overview
I want Regular Expression to accept only Arabic characters, Spaces and Numbers.
Numbers are not required to be in Arabic.
I found the following expression:
^[\u0621-\u064A]+$
which accepts only only Arabic characters while I need Arabic characters, Spaces and Numbers.
Regex Solutions
Solution 1 - Regex
Just add 1-9 (in Unicode format) to your character-class:
^[\u0621-\u064A0-9 ]+$
OR add \u0660-\u0669 to the character-class which is the range of Arabic numbers :
^[\u0621-\u064A\u0660-\u0669 ]+$
Solution 2 - Regex
You can use:
^[\u0621-\u064A\s\p{N}]+$
\p{N} will match any unicode numeric digit.
To match only ASCII digit use:
^[\u0621-\u064A\s0-9]+$
EDIT: Better to use this regex:
^[\p{Arabic}\s\p{N}]+$

function HasArabicCharacters(string text)
{
var regex = new RegExp(
"[\u0600-\u06ff]|[\u0750-\u077f]|[\ufb50-\ufc3f]|[\ufe70-\ufefc]");
return regex.test(text);
}

To allow Arabic + English Letters with min&max allowed number of characters in a field, try this, tested 100%:
^[\u0621-\u064A\u0660-\u0669a-zA-Z\-_\s]{4,35}$
A- Arabic English letters Allowed.
B- Numbers not allowed.
C- {4,35} means the Min,Max characters allowed.
Update: On submit: Accepted English words with spaces, but the Arabic words with spaces could not be submitted!
Solution 10 - Regex
Regex for English and Arabic Numbers only
function HasArabicEnglishNumbers(text)
{
var regex = new RegExp(
"^[\u0621-\u064A0-9]|[\u0621-\u064A\u0660-\u0669]+$");
return regex.test(text);
}
Solution 11 - Regex
@Pattern(regexp = "^[\\p{InArabic}\\s]+$")
Accept arabic digit and character
Solution 12 - Regex
In PHP, use this:
preg_replace("/\p{Arabic}/u", 'x', 'abc123ابت');// will replace arabic letters with "x".
Note: For \p{Arabic} to match arabic letters, you need to pass u modifier (for unicode) at the end.

The posts above include much more than arabic (MSA) characters, it includes persian, urdu, quranic symbols, and some other symbols. The arabic MSA characters are only (see Arabic Unicode)

public static Regex IntegerString => new(@"^[\s\da-zA-Zء-ي]+[^\.]*$");
public static Regex String => new(@"^[\sa-zA-Zء-ي]*$");
public static Regex Email => new(@"^[\d\@\.a-z]*$");
public static Regex Phone => new(@"^[\d\s\(\)\-\+]+[^\.]*$");
public static Regex Address => new(@"^[\s\d\.\,\،\-a-zA-Zء-ي]*$");
public static Regex Integer => new(@"^[\d]+[^\.]*$");
public static Regex Double => new(@"^[\d\.]*$");

//correct inputs
System.out.println(thai.matches("[[0-9]*\\p{In" + Character.UnicodeBlock.THAI.toString() + "}*]*"));
System.out.println(arabic.matches("[[0-9]*\\p{In" + Character.UnicodeBlock.ARABIC.toString() + "}*]*"));
//incorrect inputs
System.out.println(arabic.matches("[[0-9]*\\p{In" + Character.UnicodeBlock.THAI.toString() + "}*]*"));
System.out.println(thai.matches("[[0-9]*\\p{In" + Character.UnicodeBlock.ARABIC.toString() + "}*]*"));
