Regex to prevent set of characters

Question

I need to prevent user from entering the following set of chars: ~ " # % & * : < > ? / \ { | } .

Important is that, anything else will be allowed, but only the characters shown above will be forbidden.

Currently, I'm using the following regex but this does also forbid for example ! sign.

  private static folderRegex = /^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+[ßüÜöÖäÄ\w]*$/;

Answer 1

Just put the set of characters in an inverse set and add a ^ and a $ to stretch the pattern to the full length of the input.

 private static folderRegex = /^[^~"#%&*:<>?\/\\{|}]+$/;
