Special characters mismatch

General Discussion
1

Hi,

Is there a RegExp group for special characters? I’m looking to create a rule in a checklist that identifies when there is a mismatch in the number of special characters. (this should not include commas, full stops, apostrophes, quotations and dashes i.e. punctuation)

Thanks for any info!

You may use the special set [:symbol:], which matches any of the following characters:

$ + <=> ^ | ~ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ¬ ® ¯ ° ± ´ ¶ ¸ × ÷`

[:control:] matches control characters (non-pinting characters):
backspace, linefeed, vertical tab, form feed, carriage return, etc.

You can find more information about special sets at the Online Help and User Guide.
