How to add the hyphen-minus into the pattern?

[Fixed]

Hello!

I need to add "-" ("hyphen-minus") into the:

Pattern = "[!A-Za-z0-9]"

Thanks in advance!

I've tried:

Pattern = "[!A-Za-z0-9-]"

and looks like it works)

Correct... because the hyphen is used to specify ranges, the only safe place to put it when you want it to just be a hyphen is at the end of the text (inside the square brackets) where it won't be able to form a range. Theoretically, you can also place it at the beginning of the text, but after the leading exclamation mark if there is one, but I find it easier to keep track of when it is at the end, especially when I have to come back at a later time and add some more characters inside the square brackets.

Thank you Rick for your advice!
