check for some special characters in folder name

Question

In AngularJS, I am creating folder. When a folder is created with name containing - /:?"<>| characters , I want to do validation to show error message - "A folder name cannot contain any of the following special characters /:?"<>| ".

What logic should i use to do the validation for folder name?

Correct set of characters that i want to validate are these \/:*?"<>| — Anand Mohan Singh, Jun 15 '18 at 14:43
Consider using the `ng-pattern` directive to prevent users from entering invalid characters. — georgeawg, Jun 15 '18 at 19:24

You may use str.match(regexp) on the filename string before the creation of the folder.
