Replace all characters in String except keyboard characters

[rabbit_fufu]

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure this one out for a few hours and I'm not making much headway. Hoping someone here knows the quick solution...

I'd like to replace all characters in a string except for the set of keyboard characters. I figure this can probably be done with a preg_replace and some regex, but I'm afraid I need to bone up on my regex some...

If anyone here has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Examples?

If you use ereg_replace then you can use POSIX character groupings such as

[:alpha:], [:alnum:], [:print:], [:space:], etc.

So what you're looking for might be something like:

$text = eregi_replace ("[^[:print:]]", "", $text);

Keyboard characters? Doesn't that depend on your keyboard?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I mean low ascii, as in 0-127.

Anyhow, I didn't know about the ^ operator in regex so it all works great now. Thanks guys!
