Hey @45134904 

 

If I understand you correctly you are trying remove special characters from First Name & Last Name and Address Line. To do this you can use Replace_Char formula

  1. ReplaceChar([FirstName], '#?()&+/!@', '')
  2. ReplaceChar([LastName], '#?()&+/!@', '')
  3. ReplaceChar([Address Line 1], '?()!', '')

Hey @45134904 

 

Use below code to validate your data against special characters. 

  1. regex_match([FirstName], '^[^#?()&+\/!@]*$')
  2. regex_match([LastName], '^[^#?()&+\/!@]*$')
  3. regex_match([Address Line 1], '^[^?()!]*$')

Output result of regex match is True or False. I hope your query is resolved.
