Hi mate,

 

Try the expression below to strip 3 types of Quotes

"   U+0022 QUOTATION MARK
“   U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
”   U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK 

 

 

Pattern:

^[^"“”]*$

 

Expression:

 

 

If you want the expression just for one type of quotes "

 

Use this pattern:

 

^[^"]*$

Then modify the expression to replace only double quotation mark

 

Hope this helps

Hi Mustafa,

 

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. -That is a great way of dealing with text if entered into a text box.

 

I wanted to deal with the text as it is being entered, using the Validation Pattern property for a text box.

So i entered ur pattern ^[^"]*$ into a New Pattern and applied it to the text box and it seems to work great. It allows every character except "

 

Have i done this right, is there anything else that needs adding to this pattern, or will this allow everything except " to be entered?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Yes, this should be enough to validate the string.

it allows all characters except "

Hi Mustafa, I tried doing this and the form does not save it keeps on rolling but don't save. I created the expression and added the expression to the text box.General Properties Expression. Please let me know what i am doing is wrong.
