For example [a-z0-9] says match any character set of 0-9 or a-z (case sensitive). Adding the carrot ^ reverses this, i.e. [^a-z0-9] means any character NOT in the set of 0-9 or a-z.
Just note that the meaning of the carrot ^ symbol changes its meaning when outside of a character set [...]. Outside of this it matches the beginning of the string and|or line. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298072 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
