Argh! You are right! I reviewed my perl code, too, and corrected the regex
to "^[^a-zA-Z0-9?&]$".
That, is really what I want to see as result.
Sorry for my foolish mail. BTW, Thx for you smart and small tool. I guess we
will use this
even if JDK 1.4 offers RegEx, because your tool will run on any JDK version.
;-)

Thx for your work.

Bye

Toby
