Hi,
Anyone know what Pattern can be used on a Text box to include everything EXCEPT the " special character?
Rather than build up the pattern to say which special characters can be used, is there a way to do the pattern to include everything except 1 special character?
Reason for this is that special character is breaking my workflows.
Thanks

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
+16Hi,
Yes, this should be enough to validate the string.
it allows all characters except "
