Regex: How to leave out webding font characters?
- by DS
Hi,
I've a free text field on my form where the users can type in anything. Some users are pasting text into this field from Word documents with some weird characters that I don't want to go in my DB. (e.g. webding font characters) I'm trying to get a regular expression that would give me only the alphanum and the punctuation characters.
But when I try the following, the output is still all the characters. How can I leave them out?
<html><body><script type="text/javascript">var str="???????";document.write(str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9 [:punct]]+/g, " "));</script></body></html>
