In a PCRE regex, [\x80-\xFF] will find all extended ASCII chars. Or, if you wanted all ASCII chars, you could use: [\x00-\xFF] That would catch space and punctuation as well though. Or you could amend it to suit. It's in hexadecimal (ie FF == 255) -- Richard Heyes HTML5 Graphing for FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari: http://www.rgraph.org (Updated November 1st)
