Regex, every non-alphanumeric character except white space or colon

Question

How can I do this one anywhere?

Basically, I am trying to match all kinds of miscellaneous characters such as ampersands, semicolons, dollar signs, etc.

Answer 1

If you mean "non-alphanumeric characters", try to use this:

var reg =/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g      //[^abc]
