otherwise error should be thrown.

2) PQRTY RTYE_ABC
3)TYUIO

Please write this code in edit validate, and confugure this on the property rule Advanced.
String regex= "^[A-Za-z -]+$";
java.uitl.regex.Pattern p=java.util.regex.Pattern.compile(regex);
if(theValue== null || theValue.trim().equals("") return false;
java.util.regex.Matcher=p.matcher(theValue);
if(m.matches())
return m.matches();
else
theProperty.addMessage(" write your error message");

@Satish Sudagoni - Thanks for the reply
it should not accept the _ and space as first character, it should accept only alphabet as first character

String input = "Hello World-2021";
if (input.matches("^[A-Za-z -]+$"))
{ System.out.println("Input contains only alphabets, spaces, or hyphens"); }
else
{ System.out.println("Input contains other characters as well"); }

String input = "Hello World-";
if (input.matches("^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z -]*$")) {
System.out.println("Input starts with an alphabet and contains only alphabets, spaces, or hyphens");
} else {
System.out.println("Input does not meet the criteria");
}
hope this helps
