Response to reggie

Reggie,

Sorry, but that is not the problem. The problem is that the regular expression is not seeing the forward slash (/).

For example, the following string should evaluate to 'good data'.

$variable = 'RWD/FWD';
if ( $variable =~ /^[a-zA-Z0-9\/]*$/ )
#allow alphanumeric and fwd slash only
{
$returnValue = 'good data';
}
else
{
$returnValue = 'Bad Data';
}
