Hi Satheesh,

you want to restrict the below char.

[5/10/2017 8:08 PM] Eshwar Prasad Mallikarjun:

Disallow following special characters (&

[

]

~

@

|

$

^

<

>

\

*

+

=

;

?

`

')

if yes then please check with script below.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

return;

}

var specialCharRegex = /[~@|$^<>\*+=;?`')[\]]/;

if(specialCharRegex.test(newValue)){

alert('special chars are not allowed');

g_form.setValue('<your field name where you are writing the special char>','');

}

I have tested it in my PDI and it's working fine.

Thanks,

Harshvardhan

No need regex for that,

In that script you can mention like,

g_form.getValue('<field name>').indexOf('character') >= 0

alert ('this character is present');
