Hi Vaibhab,

I've gone through your requirement and I came across a simpler way using the APEX controller extension class.
I used the following code in the extension class to check if the value is numeric or not.


Apex Controller>>>

boolean check = pattern.matches('[a-zA-Z]+',stringname);

if (check == true) {

the error message you want to display

}


I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Hi Vaibhav,

Please try the Validation rule something like this 
NOT(REGEX(
 your field name ,"^[a-z  A-Z]*$")))

Hi Vaibhav, 

You can try this:

Component

 <lightning:input aura:id="field" label="Client#2 Name" value='{!v.LeadObj.Name2__c}' messageWhenPatternMismatch="Please specify a valid Name"
                                                 pattern="[a-zA-Z]*"/>


Controller:

 var allValid1 = component.find('field').reduce(function (validSoFar, inputComponent){
            inputComponent.reportValidity();
            return validSoFar && inputComponent.checkValidity();
        }, true);
        if(allValid1) {
       // write your code here 
        }
        else {
            alert('Please update the invalid form entries and try again.');
        }
