Hello everyone,
I have a set of web based admin tools that users in my company use to
update various pieces of a website. I've never been able to write
enough regexes, "clean routines", etc. to clean out all of the "bad
characters" that users put in. The big culprit is of course, good ole
cut and paste.
Like I said, I have several "sanitize" routines that clean control
characters, etc. out of the input fields. Just wondering if others
have found "the solution" for stuff like this.
Thanks for any help,
Kevin
Perhaps you could look at the problem in reverse. Strip out all
characters that are not in a certain set; e.g., you might take anything
that is not a digit, space, tab, alphanumeric character, period, or
comma and delete it.
