Where is the problem? Where is the regex you are using? How is it used (what language, method, etc?) Check the [MCVE (minimal complete verifiable example)](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). — Wiktor Stribiżew, Jun 14 '16 at 07:06
`/^([a-zA-Z '.`"\\:;_(){}<>-]*)?(s\/o|S\/O|w\/o|W\/O|d\/o|D\/O)?([a-zA-Z '.`"\\:;_(){}<>-]*)$/i` this is the regex i am using.. — Suraj Chougule, Jun 14 '16 at 07:12
