Hello List, The code below of coarse will count all characters in the string $string
$string = "4556jhkl"; $count = $string =~ tr/a-zA-Z0-9//; How would I go about only allowing numbers and letters of the alpahbet? if ( $string =~ /\dw/)) { print "Only letters and numbers allowed: NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS!"; else { print "You did it?"; } Does this look correct to any one?
