Need help with a regex to  show me if the input field has spaces at the leading or ending of the string OR if it contains " <doublequotes> anywhere in the string.

<change>
<eval token="validationResult" >if(match(value, "[^\"a-zA-Z0-9]"), "padded space or doublequote identified", "All Good"</eval>
</change>

(\s$|^\s|")

As simple as that - you match whitespace at the end OR whitespace at the beginning OR doublequotes just about anywhere. Just remember to do proper backslash-escaping.

=============================================
<form>
<label>TextBox Validation</label>
<fieldset submitButton="false">
<input type="text" token="selText">
<label>Enter your Input (Dont add heading or trailing space or double quotes)</label>
<change>
<eval token="validationResult">if(match(value, "(\s$|^\s|")), "Space Padding or double quote identified", "No Error Identified"</eval>
</change>
</input>
</fieldset>
<row>
<panel>
<table>
<search>
<query>| makeresults
| eval Text="$selText$ has $validationResult$"
| table Text</query>
<sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
</search>
<option name="count">20</option>
<option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
<option name="drilldown">cell</option>

"Just remember to do proper backslash-escaping."

You'd probably need to do something like

(\\s$|^\\s|\"))

In order to escape the regex as a string
