That's correct behaviour. The alphabet doesn't know what a space is ;)
Thus append the other allowed characters to your a-zA-Z interval.

In this case you only want to allow characters in the interval 0-9. I
think \d is a shortcut for that. And to limit it to only 10 occurences,
i believe you can use {0,10} so you end up with \d{0,10} if i'm not
mistaken (consult a regular expressions manual to be sure)
