The Perl regex "shortcut" for A-Za-z0-9 is "\w". Yes, this shortcut is probably good enough for the case in point. But, without wanting to nitpick, let me just add that `\w` also matches the underscore ( `_`). This would be anecdotic in most cases, but it seems that the OP does not want the string to start with an underscore.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
