Hi,

Im looking for an easy method to validate the input of a form. Ideally I want to remove all spaces from the inputed text and also ensure that there are no speical characters within it other then a forward slash.

The input will look like this 192.168.1.1/24.

Thanks,

Felix,

Strictly speaking, that's not validation (testing); it's sanitisation (modification).

Both validation and sanitisation can be performed with regular expressions as @stb says.

fast fix

[input].match(/[\d/]+/g).join('.');

might do the trick...
