title: Javascript find if english alphabets only
body: <p>Am trying to find some text only if it contains english letters and numbers using Javascript/jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>Am wondering what is the most efficient way to do this? Since there could be thousands of words, it should be as fast as possible and I don't want to use regex.</p>
  
  <pre><code> var names[0] = 'test';
   var names[1] = 'हिन';
   var names[2] = 'لعربية';
  
   for (i=0;i&lt;names.length;i++) {
      if (names[i] == ENGLISHMATCHCODEHERE) {
          // do something here
      }
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
