Would anybody please help generate a regular expression to be validated using javascript ? This regular expression should validate alphanumerical values in addition to the following set of characters:

{. - / \ ( ),'}_ + : ? ® © T

Thanks and best regards..

Sounds like you want a pattern like this:

^[\w{./\\(),'}+:?®©-]+$

Important things to note:

• ^ and $ match the start and end of the string, respectively, meaning that only these characters are allowed.
• [ and ] define a character class, which matches any of the characters defined inside the brackets
• \w matches any alphanumeric character or underscore.
• I omitted T and _ from the character class they are allowed by \w.
• \\ is needed to escape the backslash, because that's a special character in regular expressions.
• - must e at the beginning or end of the character class or else be escaped. Otherwise, it would mean something like a-z any characters between a and z.
• Many other characters here have special meaning within regular expressions (e.g. ?, +, and ()), but it's not necessary to escape them within a character class.
• The + on the end means that one or more of these characters is allowed.
