Re: String searching

I need to find the position of the first character in the string (searching from the end) that is not one of the characters in a set. In this case the set is [0-9a-zA-z-_] I guess to be even more specific, I want to split a string into to parts the first part can contain anything and the second part must be only in the set described above. What is the easiest way to do this?
