Java Regexp to Match ASCII Characters

Question

What regex would match any ASCII character in java?

I\'ve already tried:

^[\\\\p{ASCII}]*$

but found that it didn\'t match lots of

I think question about getting ASCII characters from a raw string which has both ASCII and special characters...

public String getOnlyASCII(String raw) {
    Pattern asciiPattern = Pattern.compile("\\p{ASCII}*$");
    Matcher matcher = asciiPattern.matcher(raw);
    String asciiString = null;
    if (matcher.find()) {
        asciiString = matcher.group();
    }
    return asciiString;
}

The above program will remove the non ascii string and return the string. Thanks to @Oleg Pavliv for pattern.

For ex:

raw = ��+919986774157

asciiString = +919986774157
