Are you using the new GUI system (with Canvas, etc.) or the old one (OnGUI method)?

I think you can use the char class to check if the input string contains any characters otehr than what you specified, and remove those from the string.

You could check the string the user entered contains stuff you don't want after every character input via…

 myString.Contains("a")

and then, if yes, immediately delete it.

via…

 myString = myString.Remove(myString.length - 1);

You'll need a lot of checks for all sorts of characters, though.

a faster way would be to iterate through the string and remove a character if it is not 1,2,3, if the set of characters you allow is smaller than the set of characters you disallow.
