Please help with a RegEx validate :
Just alpha nocase,
apostrophe and dash ok,
no double spaces,
one comma required.
Thank you very much

[^a-z\-\,\']|(\,.*\,)
I have difficulties with the "double space" though.

You could simply replace multiple spaces with a single space.

Thanks Most Helpful Fade!

I will replace the double space before regex validate.

unless more than two spaces is allowed, remember to replace 2+ spaces with a single one..
