Input

  • input: The original input text or data
  • output: The string to be validated
  • expectedOutput: The expected output to compare against.
  • Any of the input variables (input, output, expectedOutput) can be marked as optional.
  • The returned value from the validate function can be a boolean, string, or a number.

Output

  • Result: Boolean (true or false) | string | number

Interpretation

Assuming this evaluator returns a boolean
  • true: At least one special character was found
  • false: No special characters were found
This evaluator requires a function named validate.

Example

import re

def validate(input, output, expectedOutput):
    pattern = r'[!#$%^&*(),.?":{}|<>]'
    return bool(re.search(pattern, str(output)))
