Hi Thank you for your reply.
My regexp was
/^([a-zA-Z]{3,}|[\W])/
Meaning match any string that is either
3 letters
or
1 word character
I'd like to change this to
3 letters
or
1 currency character
So I changed the regexp accordingly
/^([a-zA-Z]{3,}|[\p{Sc}])/u
And I tested with £
but it fails.
Any ideas?
With kind regards
Andy
