Paul,
If you want to be pedantic about it, you don't even need the ( )'s in
there... ;o)
[^.,-|0-9|] Will do the trick and cope with negative numbers.

Badly written regex... Should be:
'[^(.|0-9)]'
This says find anything that IS NOT a "." or a number and replace it with ""
(nothing).
The () make it more readable, the backslash isn't needed inside [] to escape
the . and the {0,} is the same as saying * (which because you are replacing
with nothing is entirely unnecessary)!
Just thought I'd let you all know!
Paul
