Rob, I think you are correct. Putting a "-" in will work also (at least in the Regex Coach program). However, "\-" also works, and it makes me feel more comfortable to know that it is being escaped... But yes, both will work.

Otherwise the dash is considered a range delimiter. [-_A-Z] will handle dashes [_a-z-] will also handle them I believe the backslash in a character class is, literally, a backslash in Ben's example and does not affect the dash at all. I say that without doing an actual test, however. :-) Or maybe I misunderstood what you were asking?
