Match letters before matching a space character in regex - Javascript

Question

I have this regex -: /@[a-zA-Z ]+/g; Clearly, this would match @abs as well as it would match
@ abs. But I dont want the latter to match cuz it has a space character before a letter. My regex should only match those where space is preceeded by a letter.

How to do that?

Answer 1

putting [a-zA-Z] after the @ would force a letter there: /@[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]*/g;

Answer 2

You accidently added a space in your regex after Z

/@[a-zA-Z ]/
