Hi all,

I need to look for special characters in a string before further processing.  The character(s) could be anywhere in the string.  I think the Match() function works fine, but don't know how to form the match pattern.  The characters I'm looking for are:

• < or > (Less than or greater than)
• : (Colon)
• “ (double quote)
• / (forward slash)
• \ (backslash)
• | (vertical bar or pipe)
• ? (question mark)
• * (asterisk)

This code works, but I'm wondering how to add a double quote ( " )  to the match...

// Make sure there aren't any disallowed characters in ls_CalProcedure
lb_match = Match(ls_CalProcedure, "[<>:/\|]")
if lb_match = true then
	MessageBox("Add Attachment", "The Cal Procedure cannot contain any of the following special characters:~r~n < > :  /  \  |  ? * ", StopSign!)
	return -1
end if
