Dedicated Regular Expression for Persian alphabet

Question

How can I define a regular expression which solely accept Persian alphabet characters?

I tried the following function, but it doesn't work properly:

function Just_persian(str){
  var p=/[پچجحخهعغفقثصضشسیبلاتنمکگوئدذرزطظژؤإأءًٌٍَُِّ\s]+$/;
  if(!str.match(p))
    alert("invalid format");
}

Persian characters are within the Arabic Unicode block, which ranges from U+0600 to U+06FF (which is specified in character class as \u0600-\u06FF).

function just_persian(str){
    var p = /^[\u0600-\u06FF\s]+$/;

    if (!p.test(str)) {
        alert("not format");
    }
}

The answer is utterly wrong. What's up with the `@"..."`? They won't just magically work when you copy from .NET code to JS. – nhahtdh Jul 20 '15 at 10:00

Persian characters are NOT within the Arabic Unicode block. There are letters that don't exist in the Arabic language at all. – Makan Dec 22 '21 at 22:02

You can use persianRex, it detects all Persian characters in different keyboard layouts and it's open source.

Download it and put it in your project folder. Then include it in your HTML like this:

<script src="persian-rex/dist/persian-rex.js"></script>

Then in your Javascript you can do this:

function Just_persian(str){
  if(persianRex.text.test(str))
    alert("not format");
}

Persian Characters are within the range: [\u0600-\u06FF] And: [\s]

Use This Code:

function Just_persian(str){
  var p=/@"^([\u0600-\u06FF]+\s?)+$"/;
  if(!str.match(p))
    alert("not format");
}

This Patern includes Letter and space Charachters.
