Community,
I need some help developing a regex pattern that will do the following remove all illegal characters from a file name.
These characters include:
- #
- <
- >
- %
- {
- }
- |
- \
- ^
- ~
- [
- ]
- `
- ;
- /
- ?
- :
- @
- =
- &
- $
All other alphanumeric and symbol characters are valid and should be left as is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Daryl,
Why does that matter?
Why should anyone here waste time answering a question that is answered already on another forum. How does anyone here know if the question has been answered? If the OP is considerate enough to include a link to his other posts, then we can check before spending time on the question.
Use a character class along with the replaceAll function of String. See Character Classes (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > Regular Expressions)
