Regular expression for special characters

khwab · December 21st, 2007, 07:08 AM

Hello All,

I wanna skip the special characters: / \ : * ? " < > | from my string, can anyone help me with writing the regular expression for that.

Thanks in advance,

Khwab

Here's an example in perl:

Code:

charlie@charlie:~/maui/src$ echo '\ : * ? " < > hello world' | perl -pe 's/[\\:\*\?"<>]+//g;'
       hello world
charlie@charlie:~/maui/src$
