Screen special characters - ebolisa - Apr-14-2020
Hi,
The code below receives a Submit from an url and extracts the ssid and password names from it.
To screen the special characters, a 'replace' is used, but it makes it rather complex to use it for each special character.
Is there a simpler way to filter/convert them?
TIA
