Hi Folks,

I am having some trouble with a search control I have written, basically I
want the user only to input the characters a-z, 0-9, ?, -(hyphen),
'(apostrophe) with a maximum of 50 characters. This is what I am currently
using:
[\d_a-zA-Z0-9?-]{1,50}

However I cannot seem to get the apostrophe to work correctly. Can anybody
help at all please.
 
Hello,

Are you doing any javascript validation?
If so, You might want to use escape characters for '.
Otherwise an expression like [a-zA-Z0-9-?']{1,50} should work.
