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 #%+ |

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 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.  |

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):

OK, this works when posted directly:
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/val-num-or-char.html
And this does not work when posted using the [ url ] [ /url ] tags:
http:// .internet.com/forms/val-num-or-char.html
Rui? HuwR? Guys? |

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

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) |

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

I saw that. I think it works for allowing a space. Well, the lowercase representation \s
Thank you SiSL! |

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.
