string check only english and numbers?


 Share

Recommended Posts

hi,

how can I check that a string only contains english characters (upper and lower case) and numbers but not any other like Unicode?

I'v tried using stringsplit and Arrays that contains all english characters and numbers, and every time to check that each char in the original string is compared to the Array and if there is a match it goes on... but is there a simpler way?

Have a look at StringRegExp()

Something like this should work.

If Not StringRegExp($TestString,'^[!-£]*$') Then
    MsgBox(0,"Error","$TestString contains ivalid characters")
EndIf
