Hi All, Thankx for reading this.
I have a very newbie question... i'm working on a CGI and i want only to permit some caracters by the user... imagine my $STRING = "kjsh234Sd\nki"; # now i want to check if there is any invalid caracter # in this case a-z ; A-Z and 0-9 there for /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ but i am unable to find a valid command for that, the \n always passes, i definity do not want to use execption on what o do not allow, i want only to allow some caracters invalidating all others... here what i have tried if ( $STRING =~ /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ ) { etc } my $count = ( $STRING =~ tr /a-zA-Z0-9// ); all failed... please help me :) ===== ***************************************** * Miguel Angelo * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Domain: http://migas.mine.nu * ***************************************** __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
