Help with regex pattern
Community,
I need some help developing a regex pattern that will do the following remove all illegal characters from a file name.
These characters include:
- #
- <
- >
- %
- {
- }
- |
- \
- ^
- ~
- [
- ]
- `
- ;
- /
- ?
- :
- @
- =
- &
- $
All other alphanumeric and symbol characters are valid and should be left as is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Daryl,
Why does that matter?
Re: Help with regex pattern
Why should anyone here waste time answering a question that is answered already on another forum. How does anyone here know if the question has been answered? If the OP is considerate enough to include a link to his other posts, then we can check before spending time on the question.
Re: Help with regex pattern
Use a character class along with the replaceAll function of String. See Character Classes (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Regular Expressions)
