Answer / hari
We can use reg_match function in informatica with required
regular expression to allow the charchters and number
format u need . In this way we can easily restrict any
special charchter.

Answer / anirban_ghosh
Since it's been said...we know nothing of the special characters present in between...therefore..the wise thing would be tp extract each character and compare it with the (int value) of the alphabets......if the (int) value of the extracted character is between....65-90 or 97-122......store it in a queue......at the end....flush out the queue....that's it!!!
