search for vertical bars

[Anonymous Monk]

 if(param("des") || param("title") =~ m[\|]) {
    &inerror("You cant include |'s in your text");
 }

This doesnt work, all I want do is check to see if they contain vertical bars

I think what you mean to say is:

if(param("des") =~ m[\|] || param("title") =~ m[\|]) {
   &inerror("You cant include |'s in your text");
}

Just because I cringe at duplicated code (and my duplicate threshold is very low ;-)

Nothing at all wrong with DamnDirtyApe's answer... Like the title says, I was bored and just had to post.

if (grep {/\|/} (param('des'), param('title')){
  # at least one of them matched
}
