Regex help 1

[999Dom999]

I really need to get my head around regex but in the meantime please can someone help me with a validation form I need this line to change so that it matches all punctuation except for these 3 characters "&", "'" and "/"

var illegalChars= /[\(\)\<\>\,\;\:\\\"\[\]]/ ;

Cheers!

Hi

Why are you escaping every character ?

var illegalChars=/[()<>,;:\\"\[\]]/;

I have no idea regex is not my expertise this is someone else's code it was under the validation for email section. I need something similar but to match all punctuation except these three & ' /

Hi

Define "all punctuation".

Thanks for the links,

I mean all symbols really `¬!"£$%^*()_+=[]{}~#@':;?.>,<|\

I made mistake earlier the three I don't want to match are & - /

Thanks for any help.
