    Regex Pattern Question

    I am tryin to confirm a one word string (nickname) when users sign into my server. the allowed characters should be a-z 0-9 - ^ ~ ` [ ] _ { and }

    The pattern I have right now is

    (?i:^[a-z0-9_]+\w$)

    which works find for alphanumeric with underscores but if I cant figure out how to have it check for the other characters as well i thought adding them into the [] brackets as escape characters would do it but its not working

    can anyone help me out here?

    Actually this SHOULD work.
    (?i:^[a-z0-9_\-^~'[\]{}]+\w$)

    At least I'm quite sure that it would work in JavaScript.
