For data validation, I am using the following regex:

$Status = (ereg("^(^[A-Za-z0-9` !@#$%&()=:;\"\'.?/^|{}-]*)(.*)$", $String,
$List));

This works perfectly for the moment. However, I need to add both square
brackets [] to the list of allowed characters above.

But when I add the closinjg bracket ], the regex stops working. There are no
errors, but it accepts any and all characters as valid.

How can I add these additional characters to the regex and avoid this
problem?

Thanks.
