It didnt work. I tried:
REGEX([a-zA-Z0-9,.!? ]*$)

Error: Syntax error. Missing '='

hi

you are using in a vf page..right? i thought it in a validation
so use the same regex like this in script..and place the script in vf page

<script >
        function show()
        {
var phn=document.getElementById("{!$Component.pg.fm.pgb.pbs.one}");
var pattern=^[a-zA-Z0-9,.!? ]*$;
if(!pattern.test(phn.value))
            {
                alert("some thing you want to see");
                phn.focus();
                return false;
            }
}
</script>

hope this helps you..

thanks
