Hello, I''m trying to make a validation that catches special latin chars that cause Mysql errors. Here''s what I''ve been trying so far: validates_format_of :title, :with=>/\A[^#]/, :message=>''must not start with a "#"'', :if => Proc.new {|page| page.title && page.title.size > 0 } validates_exclusion_of :title, :in => ''π ≤ ≥ ∫ √ ≈ Ω ∞ ≠ ∑ ∂ ∆ ˙ ˚'', :message => "Title contains invalid characters" When I throw these characters into the textfield, they aren''t dectected and the sql error is thrown. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Validation-on-special-characters-tf4024691.html#a11431779 Sent from the RubyOnRails Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
