Sorry Wayne - didn't see the end of your mail
To have a list of 'allowables' use:
@REGEX EXPR=[^A-Za-z0-9!$]+ STR=@VAR string TYPE=E position=all
Here I'm allowing anything alphanumeric and ! and $.
All other characters will return a match.
If I can be of further assistance please contact me.

Subject: Witango-Talk: REGEX revisited
I asked previously about a regular expression to capture any
non-alphanumeric characters in a string and someone at Witango (Tarin or
Fergal I think) was kind enough to offer the solution.
@REGEX EXPR=[^[:alnum:]]+ STR=@VAR string TYPE=E position=all'
Of course now the problem has grown and the clients strings that are
comprised of alphanumerics and certain other characters such as : / \ etc.
Can someone assist me in adding these options to the list of allowables?
Thanks
