Special Character If Condition

[shatterah]

The following code works fine:

if (newPassword.match(/(.*[~,!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,),_,+,{,},|,:,\,",<,>,?,`,-,=,\,;,',,,.,/].*[~,!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,),_,+,{,},|,:,\,",<,>,?,`,-,=,\,;,',,,.,/])/))

but when I include " [ , ] , " in it I get an error. Anyone know how I can include " [ " and " ] " in the condition without getting the error?

I also need to write a condition for checking spaces as well.

You need to escape special characters with a backslash.

Instead of trying to match non-valid characters, why not match valid characters instead?
