Had similar problem  was looking for white spaces in a string  solution    To search for 1 space   var regex        s         example   user last name  To search for multiple spaces   var regex        s    g     example   user last name

The    backslash  in the  match call is not properly escaped   It would be easier to use a regex literal though   Either will work   var regex       s     var regex      s       Also note that   will require at least one space   You may want to use

If one only cares about whitespace at the beginning and end of the string  but not in the middle   then another option is to use String trim          your string contents    trim          gt   your string contents

If you re using jQuery  you have  trim     if      siren   val   trim                 it s empty

If you are looking for empty string in addition to whitespace you meed to use   rather than    var regex      s
