I am trying to validate a text box with a reg expression that would allow Characters, apostrophes, hyphens and wildcards (* and ?).

I have found ^[\p{L} \.'\-]+$ which should allow the characters, apostrophes and hypens. What would I need to add to accept the wildcards as well?

    Regex to validate:

    [A-Za-z'\-*?]+
    

    Inside the square brackets ? and * are not special chars.

    If you need to match the whole string do

    ^[A-Za-z'\-*?]+$
