Can anyone tell me the regex for excluding numbers and special characters in ASP.NET?

Question

How do I get the regular expression for excluding special charaters and numbers? Thanks in advance.

How do you define "special character". Is `é` a special character? How about `商`? — Fredrik Mörk, Apr 14 '11 at 05:29
Is space a spacial character? The question would be much more answerable with a few valid/invalid examples. — Kobi, Apr 14 '11 at 05:33

possible regex

[^()[\]{}*&^%$#@!]+

this will match anything but ()[]{}*&^%$#@!

the [^...]+ is a "any character except ..." and the ] must be escaped with \]
