Regular Expression Arabic characters and numbers only

Question

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.

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 ]+$

@moujtahed Welcome! as Ed Cottrell says just add a space in character class! check out the edit! – Mazdak Apr 19 '15 at 13:12
it works fine in flutter inputFormatters: [ FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp("[\u0621-\u064A]+")), ], – ahmed Aug 13 '22 at 18:06
it works fine with white space ^[\u0621-\u064A\u0660-\u0669 ]+$ – ahmed Sep 04 '22 at 11:11

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}]+$

I need to accept Arabic characters, Spaces and Numbers – moujtahed Apr 19 '15 at 12:37
you can even use: `^[\p{Arabic}\s\p{N}]+$` and see linked demo – anubhava Apr 19 '15 at 12:41
Now I figure out the problem: I'm using JavaScript language it seems that JavaScript reads Regular Expression in a different way than PHP. – moujtahed Apr 19 '15 at 12:58
@anubhava this regex is not accepting the following arabic text : عسكرياً نتيجة مهمّات – Shan Sep 07 '17 at 06:06

If you are using javascript, change the regex to: `/\p{Script=Arabic}+/u` – Samer Murad Oct 19 '18 at 09:14

Whilst this code snippet is welcome, and may provide some help, it would be [greatly improved if it included an explanation](//meta.stackexchange.com/q/114762) of *how* it addresses the question. Without that, your answer has much less educational value - remember that you are answering the question for readers in the future, not just the person asking now! Please [edit] your answer to add explanation, and give an indication of what limitations and assumptions apply. – Toby Speight Apr 24 '17 at 11:44

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!

All cases tested

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)
