Accepts regex metacharacters as name that interferes with save

[nus-pe-bot]

Bot accepts | as name input resulting in it breaking when running certain features on subsequent uses:

Furthermore, the UG states: "If Flirt & Fork encounters difficulty in generating an itinerary due to overly unique preferences or other issues, you will receive a message encouraging you to adjust your preferences or try another command. By using the smart command, you can discover new and exciting ways to enjoy your day, tailored specifically to what you love."

However the error message has no mention of how to adjust said preferences, and only informs the user to try itinerary. The user may be permanently unable to use the smart option as a result.

I'm not smart enough for your default preferences, try 'itinerary' command instead!

Thanks for letting us know! We agree, but we also did not handle that because no one has the character "|" in their names.
