Question What chars? $ % and { When i try: if (($ isin $2-) \|\| (% isin $2-) \|\| ({ isin $2-)) { return } it dont work! 2. Question When i write: if ($2- !isalnum) { return } the scripts returns when someone write something with spaces in it - how can i "fix" this? allow A-Z + 0-9 + Space? Thank you for the informations Last edited by Krawalli; 24/12/14 11:31 AM.

Code: ; $chr(36) == $ ; $chr(37) == % ; $chr(123) == { if (($chr(36) isin $2-) \|\| ($chr(37) isin $2-) \|\| ($chr(123) isin $2-)) { return } If you like http://www.asciitable.com/index/asciifull.gif or you can find the $chr() for them on your own Code: //var %x 127 \| while (%x) { echo -ag %x - $chr(%x) \| dec %x }

To make sure special characters are not evaluated as code, it's a good idea to use $chr. You can find out what ascii number a character has by using $asc(charater). Type this for example //echo -a $asc($) I'm not sure why $asc({) is not possible, but the number for is 123 anyways. Code: if ($chr(36) isin $2-) \|\| ($chr(37) isin $2-) \|\| ($chr(123) isin $2-) { return } that should work

You should also consider learning Regular Expressions which opens up a new world with $regex(), $regsub(), $regsubex(). if (!$regex($2-,/[A-Za-z0-9 ]/)) { return } is the equiv to the second question you asked. (though alphanum may also allow _ and - characters, so add them: /[A-Za-z0-9 _-]/) ((I don't need peanut gallery informing me of \w or /i, we're trying to ease him into regex.)) Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
