Re: Checking string for invalid characters...

Check out the string functions section in the manual.....it should be easy to set up your routine. Probably instead of checking for allowed chars you should check for unallowed chars and evaluate the replacement of them....but there is a really complete set, u'll find the ones who match your needs.

Hello, I was wondering if some some had a routine which would check a string for invalid characters. I figure the logic would be something of the following: The user passes me a string and I compare character by character against my array of "allowed" strings. but this is a while looop with a while loop and it can get kind of cumbersome. If any one already has a good routine or solution I would apreciate any help.
