Hi! I am trying to use the regex rule to exclude forbidden characters of filenames in a textbox. The forbidden characters (Windows) are: "\/:*?"<>" so I tried something like: [^\/:*?"<>] first and then {[^\/:*?"<>]}, {.*[^\/:*?"<>].*} and a lot stuff like that but the result is always that the rule only works for a single forbidden character. So when I write: "blabla*" it gets through while "*" does not go through. Is there a docu for regex-rule somewhere? The current docu does not even say whether the regex should match or not ... I am starting to hate phps regex more and more ... Perl was much more clear to me ... Maybe I am wrong but to me "Perl style" seems to be not really true ... Can someone help me? Thanks Daniel
