Use a regular expression. REReplace() can replace all characters not
matching those specified.
Example: REReplace(mystring, "[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "", "ALL")
If you just want to find the character use REFind().
Example: REFind("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", mystring, 1)
Using REFind(), you'll have to loop over the string to find more than one
occurrence of a non-alphanumeric character. An advantage is that REFind()
can also return the characters and store them in a structure for further
investigation if needed.

Hi all,
I have a form field and i want to check if there is any special character
typed in instead of alphabets and numbers.
Is there any tag in cf to find it.
I remember doing it in Perl, but not sure of cf.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Vani
