Password with special shell characters (e.g. |, )) causes eval syntax error

[ostgardh]

When passing a password containing shell-special characters such as | (pipe) or ) (parenthesis) via -dxPassword, the script fails with a syntax error.

Fix

Before

regEx="[[:space:]]|." # matches a string with a space character or dot in it.

After

regEx='[[:space:].|();&<>!$`\"]' # matches a string with a special shell character or dot in it.
