JavaFX String Validation

Question

I'm trying to validate a text field using IF statements.

When I use:

if(fname.getText().matches("[a-z]") || fname.getText().matches("[A-Z]")) {
                    grid1.getChildren().remove(labelstar1);                 
                }

It only matches one character. How do I make it validate so it matches with a string of characters with no specific length?

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated!
