Aren't you supposed to comma separate unsimilar items like that? I don't use regexes all that often but I did test the script and it worked. "Age is nothing more than an inaccurate number bestowed upon us at birth as just another means for others to judge and classify us" sulfericacid	[reply]

No, you aren't. Thus the reason that your a-z0-9 works fine. As a contribution to the thread: # cat match.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -l while (<DATA>) { chomp; print "$_ " . (/[^a-z0-9!\@#\$%^&(),.?~:;<>+ =_'"-]/ ? "contains w +eird stuff":"is fine"); } __DATA__ funky town ^-^ b f1 top` # perl match.pl funky town is fine ^-^ is fine b* is fine f1 is fine top` contains weird stuff # [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I thought a-z0-9 was different because you're given a range of characters instead of singly adding them yourself. Thanks for correcting my code though.
