Bootstrap Validator - RegExp weird behavior

I have to validate a field that allows just words, spaces, and the characters "&" and "-".

The regex I'm using is /[A-Za-zsb-&]+/g.

/[A-Za-zsb-&]+/g

Here is the code:

$('#register_validator').bootstrapValidator({
framework: 'bootstrap',
fields: {
name:
validators:
regexp:
regexp: /[A-Za-zsb-&]+/g,
message: 'Invalid character'





When I write a valid string and then I erase a character, it triggers the validator.

For example:

text: Jones -> OK

erase a char: Jone -> message: Invalid character

Is there something wrong with the regEx? What can I do to avoid this bug?

I've solved the problem with /^[a-zà-ús-&üû]+$/i

/^[a-zà-ús-&üû]+$/i

It allows the alphabet, extended chars, spaces and the special chars & and -.
