Separate special character fields

Hi,

I have a file with User ID and User Name. Sometimes the file has speical characters in the USer ID and it creates problems.

I want to allow all those fields to be processed which have only numbers and characters.

I do NOT want to process those fields with Speical Characters.


How to search and filter?

Appreciate your help.

Regards
