Restrict special characters for catalog item variable

[eshwar10]

Hi Guys,

We have a requirement for a catalog item variable, in which it should restrict the

below special characters.

"(&[]~@|$^<>\*+=;?`')"   ---> inside quotes

I have written the below on change client script to achive this. The script is working

for all specail characters except for "\". Please provide your valuable inputs

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

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

          return;

    }

    // Dissallow special characters in application long name

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

  if(specialCharRegex.test(newValue)){

  alert('special characters are not allowed');

g_form.setValue('app_long_name','');

  }

}

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

Your regex need to be : [~@|$&^<>\*+=;?`'())[\]\\]

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