I have a script that is used for text messaging. I added a line of code to
check to make sure that input is in a field before the message is sent. My
code is as follows:

if($b !~ m/^\w[\w\s]*\w$/) { $error .= "Enter a message <br> \n"; }

This fails if the field has any punctuation characters. I have checked on
www.perldoc.com but I seem to be going in the wrong direction. I only want
it to check to make sure there is data in the field. I am not concerned with
what the data is. This is only to keep people from sending blank messages.
My thought is that it's one of these, but I am not sure. \w, \W, \s, \S, \d,
