Hi,
I have an if-statement for checking the value of a variable : if (!($icname =~ /^[A-Za-z0-9_.]+$/)) { print "<tr><td>Sorry your IP-Block name cannot contain special characters</td>${submit}</tr><br>"; $exit ="on"; } ---- Is there a way to find out which character did not meet the requirements ? I would like to tell the user which character he has entered and cannot be used. So; $icname = "123qwerty&"; In the if statement a variable "$specch" needs to contain the "&" character. Is there any easy way for this ? Thanks in advance !! Regs David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
