I have an application where the user uploads files.
GOAL:
I need to check the file name for special characters and replace them with an underscore. Is there a Select Statement OR IF Statement I can use to search the fileName for unwanted special charaters; those characters will be replaced with a blank or underscore?
I want to replace ampersand, Number sign, Apostrophe, and so on.
I have some special characters in my database and i would like to retrieve the same. eg: "FrédÃ" is not displaying properly on my list but it is stored correctly in database.

I am working on ASP.NET3.5 platform. I have used a file upload control and a asp button to upload a file. Whenever i try to upload a file which contain special characterlike (file#&%.txt) it show crash and give the messeage "Server Error in 'myapplication' Application." A potentially dangerous Request.Files value was detected from the client (filename="...New Text &#.txt"). Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

View 3 RepliesI have a dropdownlist which I dynamically select a list item using findbytext as long as there are no special characters. One entry in the list starts with a percent symbol which I have been unable to dyncamically select. I have confirmed that there are no spaces in the list item and have hard coded the query with the string to try to find the problem. FindByText("% Increase") I believe it has something to do with the special character but have been unable to identify a method to work around this.
VB
If
Not ddlColumns1.Items.FindByText(strDefault)
Is
Nothing
Then
ddlColumns1.Items.FindByText(strDefault).Selected = True

Please help to understand this RegEx statement in details. It's supposed to validate filename from ASP.Net FileUpload control to allow only jpeg and gif files. It was designed by somebody else and I do not completely understand it. It works fine in Internet Explorer 7.0 but not in Firefox 3.6.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="FileUpLoadValidator" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Upload Jpegs and Gifs only."
ValidationExpression="^(([a-zA-Z]:)|(\{2}w+)$?)(\(w[w].*))(.jpg|.JPG|.gif|.GIF)$"
ControlToValidate="LogoFileUpload">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
How can I make this regex not accept spaces?: [0-9a-zA-Z' ']{3,}
Everything I'm reading says to put a * or a + after the [] , but I get an invalid expression error when I do. The end result I'm looking for is a string of letters and numbers only - no spaces inbetween.
I'm builing a websight and has encountered an anoying problem. I'm using a gridview and and in the "gridviewRowDataBound" I placed this code:
foreach (TableCell cell in e.Row.Cells)
{
cell.ToolTip = cell.Text;
}
the problem is that the tooltip dosn't show some special charactes and since the websight is for swedish users the "Å,Ä,Ö, é" characters is replaced with other special characters and numbers. If i place a tooltip on a button or other elements the tooltips are displayed properly. Does anybody know how to fix this.
I am trying to write a regular expression to replace all special chracters within a string so that I am left with just alphanumeric characters and spaces or full stops.
I am using this expression at the moment
[Code]....
But then I test this with the string "This is a test!", it returns "Thisis a test", which would be fine, except for the space it removes between "This" and "is", can anyone else me where I am going wrong or supply a better expression?
I've wrote this little method to achieve the goal in the subj., however, is there more efficient (simpler) way of doing this? who will search for this like I did.
var fileName = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
fileName.Append("*Bad/ :, Filename,? ");
// get rid of invalid chars
while (fileName.ToString().IndexOfAny(System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()) > -1)
{
fileName = fileName.Remove(fileName.ToString().IndexOfAny(System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()), 1);
}
?

View 1 RepliesI've got a program that in a nutshell reads values from a SQL database and writes them to a tab-delimited text file.
The issue is that some of the values in the database have special characters (TM, dash, ellipsis, etc.) When written to the text file, the formatting is lost and they come across as junk "â„¢ or â€" etc"
When the value is viewed in the immediate window, before it is written to the txt file, everything looks fine. My guess is that this is an issue of encoding. But, I'm not real sure how to proceed, where to look, or what to look for.
Is this ASCII or UTF-8? If it's one of those how do I correct it before it's written to the text file.
Here's how I build the text file (where feedStr is a StringBuilder)
objReader = New StreamWriter(filePath)
objReader.Write(feedStr)
objReader.Close()
I'm fairly new to ASP.NET and have the following problem:
I add data to an Access database through a form on a aspx.-page. Now my problem is, if the user enters characters like " or & the syntax of the SQL command i send to access changes and the whole thing crashes. :-(
It should nevertheless be possible to write special characters in the Access database. How can I do that??

This works great for tags that start a-z. However I have some tags in the XML document that can start with special characters (eg 0-9, ! @ # $ & * etc)

ErrorMessage="Password must be atleast 8 characters and include a number,alphabets upper case and lower case.

What's the regular expression to check if a string starts with "mailto" or "ftp" or "joe" or...
Now I am using C# and code like this in a big if with many ors:
String.StartsWith("mailto:")
String.StartsWith("ftp")
It looks like a regex would be better for this. Or is there a C# way I am missing here?
