[rules-users] Removing Special Characters

[Swindells, Thomas]

Good points - hopefulyl the gist of what I was suggesting came across - I like to leave debugging what I spew out as an exercise for the reader....

It will work

Not the way it was posted. At least, StringBuffer.setCharAt() needs a second argument of type char, and this would be a strange type for a "customer name" field.


Rule "Wild char validation"
When
       c: CustomerInfo(name : customerName matches ".*([\*#].*") //any string containing a * or a #

There's  a syntax error here, use ".*[*#].*", because you don't need to quote '*' inside '[...]', and if you do (which is OK) you'll have to use '\\'.

then
       modify(c) {
               setCustomerName(name.replaceAll("[\*#]", "")); //replace any * or # with ""
       }
end

Same here: either no '\' or doubled.
