Regex help

[Joveice]

Hi, I have a gamer server that can kick players with help of regex and since I'm in EU alot who join has characters the server doesent know (russia for the most).

The game server is unable to save anything to the database becouse all it sees is ????? joined the game and if 2 players have the same length both has the same name for the server.

So i tryed making this (\[A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]|[-!$%^&*()_+|~=`{}\\[\]:";'<>?,.\/@#]|[" *"])+ to allow only A-Z a-z 0-9 and all the special characters that everyone has. Tho that one does not work.

Here is the one that is default: ([\x00-\xAA]|[\w_\ \.\+\-])+

If someone could make / show me how to do it I would be happy

Will match all printable ASCII characters. 

Edit: thought I'd explain how this works, it starts at the space character and accepts any character (on the ascii table) between that and the tilde (last printable character). This encompasses all letters, numbers, and standard special characters. 

 

Have you considered changing your database character set to allow all character though? That might be a better option.

[\x20-\x7F]+

This should work, basically it matches all characters in an ascii hex range.

Okey thank you guys. Well yea it probably would have worked better that way Tho the game server doesent see the symboles and make it to ? which the database just copys so if the game server would be able to view it, I think that could have worked better too.
