Do not allow whitespace only in textfield validation

I have a textField that I do not want users to be able to enter in a space unless it is a part of the case number.

For example, users should not be able to enter this: 

But if there are spaces in the case number, then it should be allowed

I've tried regexmatch, I've tried a if / isnullorempty statement 

example: 

if(
 a!isNullOrEmpty(ri!notice),
  "Case Number is invalid.",
    null()
)
