unless somebody out there has a better way of doing it.. let me know.. richmond te <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 20:53:57 -0800 (PST) From: richmond te Subject: pls help! regular expressions for the validator To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to come up with a reg exp for valid char set that we use..We allow chars, numerics, space, hyphen, slash, full stop, and asterisk as per below.. I've got: charSet ^[a-zA-Z0-9\s-./*]*$ This works OK.. however.. I need the "&" ampersand as part of the valid char set.. Documentation I can find says use "\&" but it does not work.. in fact the whole expression does not get validated if I place an ampersand in the reg exp..the only missing characte I need as part of the input is the ampersand and I would like to know how to add this..
