local dis = "# * + = % € $ ! ^ & * ( ) - + =" -- Seperate with space 
  
function cleanDisabledWords( str ) 
    local result = str 
    for i, v in ipairs( split( dis, " " ) ) do 
        result = string.gsub( result, v, '' ) 
    end 
    return result 
end 
  
function acceptedNames ( element ) 
    local text = guiGetText ( element ) 
    local nt = cleanDisabledWords( text ) 
    guiSetText ( element, nt ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIChanged", theEdit, acceptedNames, false ) 
  

Not tested but should work.

Not tested but should work.

That'll cause a malformed pattern error.

Solidsnake14 you know how to make it?

[Castillo]

local charsString = '#*+=%€$!^&()-+?¿/"' 
  
function removeChars ( str, chars ) 
    local s = str:gsub ( "[".. tostring ( chars ) .."]", '' ) 
    return s 
end 
  
function acceptedNames ( element ) 
    local text = guiGetText ( element ) 
    local nt = removeChars ( text, charsString ) 
    guiSetText ( element, nt ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIChanged", theEdit, acceptedNames, false ) 

This sort of work, but there are characters which don't get removed, such as %.
