You know how wildcards are not allowed in the username such below?

* You may not use any of these chars in your username !#$%^&*()=+{}[]|\;:/?>,<'

Is there a regex expression that will do the same thing? The regex expressions I find still allow certain wildcards like #%+

You're welcome, dude

Hey! Thank you Shaggy!

If you're just starting out with regular expressions, this is a fantastic site for learning and this is a great piece of software for testing.

Thank you SiSL!



No problem, since I'm having a non-English forum with additional letters like dotless i or cedilla, I had problems about that and wanted to share experience...

Remember, Javascript \s or \S might filter out non-English characters as well.

Ah! Yes, the regex is interesting. I found a javascript to help out with that.

The link thing. I shoulda' looked before I leaked on that. Thanks Huw! Thanks Carefree!
HuwR Posted - 15 July 2009 : 10:18:54
some of the characters you are trying to reject won't work in a regex as they are special control characters used by regex itself, which may be why you are having a problem.

the word javascript is being filtered out of the url by the forum code (this was deliberate)

Rui? HuwR? Guys?



Go look at the bugs forum. I posted a fix to that last year.

Well, that is interesting.

The link above is supposed to look something like this (the area in red should have been included in the link above):

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/val-num-or-char.html
Etymon Posted - 15 July 2009 : 02:44:54
I found this: http:// .internet.com/forms/val-num-or-char.html

Though it's not as clean as the one I was asking about, it will work for now.
Etymon Posted - 15 July 2009 : 00:15:07
Well, I am having a little bit of trouble still finding the regex I would like to use.

I did find something that prevents characters from being entered which is actually better, but, alas, I don't know how it is done.

Would someone mind taking a look at the first text box on this page (http://www.ajaxcontroltoolkit.com/FilteredTextBox/FilteredTextBox.aspx) where it says Only digits are allowed here:? Try typing in anything other than a number, and you will see what I am talking about. The character is rejected and cleared before it is accepted. I'd like to do that with this combination:

alphanumeric space underscore

I'm trying to pre-filter member names using auto-complete with jQuery.
HuwR Posted - 13 July 2009 : 06:47:48
what exactly did you want the regex to do ?
