Filter Special Characters

[ilikesuresh]

Hi,
I need a way to remove special characters in C.
do you have any way other than checking ascii values?

Please let me Know

Thanks in advance

I would recommend starting by defining what a 'special' character is. Is it something you can type? Or something else?

The characters other than [a-z] and [A-Z] are special characters right?
I want to allow only these characters in my program. If you type other than this ,
I need a way to find and filter or notify the user to type other than these characters

So a comma, period, or another form of punctuation are not special?

In that case, I'd declare a char, read it in, and compare its value to see if it is in the range of a-z or A-Z.
