Dennis replied to subject 'How to find not allowed characters?' ------------------- Ah. That is an example of a regular expression. A powerful, but admittedly complex (though not as hard to learn as it seems at first) way to do string parsing and matching. I think Kasper was just using a $ instead of an & by mistake. The regular expression how showed would find one or more $ or ' or \ characters. If you want, you can read a regex tutorial on [https://regexone.com regexone.com]. A good place to check out how a specific regular expression works, or to test your own, is [https://regex101.com regex101.com]. Try filling in the regular expression Kasper showed, then you can see all parts to it (a little experience is needed to understand all of it, but it should give a good idea on how it works).
