Default Invisible characters - 05-28-2007 , 08:27 AM






Hello,
I am fine tuning a password scheme in FM5. So far, so good until users
unwittingly key "Enter" or the spacebar. That enters invisible
characters which confuse these users. I've figured out how to use the
Substitute function to clear these out. I'm wondering if there are any
other key/characters that I should trap for?
Thanks,
Bill

As far as I know there are 4 white-space characters:

space
non-breaking-space (ctrl-space on windows machines)
tab (ctrl-tab on windows machines)
enter

Be aware that on windows machines people can also use the alt key to enter
unicode characters that might mess up your system ...
