Solved my own problem. Just for those that do not know ... Since mask is based on regular expressions, you can use: $[\x21-\x7E\xA0-\xFF]* to match characters 32-126 and 160-255 of a character set.

Sorry, but ... We are trying to limit user input to the following ranges in ISO-8859-1: 32-126 160-255 As well as characters 9, 10 and 13. We have tried various things but have run into problems with the #&"' characters, plus it is a large mask. Along the lines of "^[A-Za-z]*" is there a means to enter character ranges for a mask in struts validation? -- James THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
