Calling all regex gurus. I am trying to the following regex pattern /(([^a-zA-z0-9-_.])|(^)|([)|(]))/gm to remove special characters from file names but am a bit confused about why it is not catching
all special characters not included in the first match group. I added the second match group to catch some characters that it was not matching with, but am worried about others that it may not be catching.

[`[A-z]` matches more than just letters](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29771901/why-is-this-regex-allowing-a-caret/29771926#29771926). – Wiktor Stribiżew Jan 28 '21 at 19:50

I didn't even notice I made the second z lower case. Thanks! – B Kelly Jan 28 '21 at 21:27
