Re: Exclude characters
Posted in 1993
From Joey Duhon: * * >>> REQUEST: in a FORM, is there a way to satisfy the folowing: * >>> * >>> Allow all chars between ' ' (space) to '~' (i.e. printable stuff), * >>> except for the characters '|' (pipe) and '-' (minus). * >>> * >>> I have tried INCLUDE, but it seems this is only a sort-based inclusion. * * there is no exclude, but include will do this. assuming ascii: * * ATTRIBUTES * tag = table.field TYPE CHAR, * INCLUDE = (" " TO ",", "." TO "{", "}" TO "~"); * * joey * duhon@netcom.com This only works if you put a "|" or "-" as the first character, assuming the field is more than one character long.
