Question

I need a javascript regex object that brings back any matches of symbols in a string,
take for example the following string:

input =    !"£$[]{}%^&*:@\~#';/.,<>\|¬`

then the following code:

input.match(regExObj,"g");

would return an array of matches:

[[,!,",£,$,%,^,&,*,:,@,~,#,',;,/,.,,,<,>,\,|,¬,`,]]

I have tried the following with no luck.

match(/[U+0021-U+0027]/g);

and I cannot use the following because I need to allow none ascii chars, for example Chinese characters.

[^0-9a-zA-Z\s]

Answer 1

var re = /[!"\[\]{}%^&*:@~#';/.<>\\|`]/g;
var matches = [];
var someString = "aejih!\"£$[]{}%^&*:@\~#';/.,<>\\|¬`oejtoj%";
while(match = re.exec(someString)) {
    matches.push(match[1]);
}

Getting

['!','"','[',']','{','}','%','^','&','*',':','@','~','#',''',';','/','.','<','>','\','|','`','%]
