I want to check for special characters in a string EXCEPT spaces and delete them.
Ex: input = "Oh Boy!!#$" output = "Oh Boy"
Can someone help me with the regular expression to implement this in C#

A:
This is one way:
Console.WriteLine(Regex.Replace("Oh Boy!!#$", @"[^\w ]", ""));

This one is at least a good reference: http://www.regular-expressions.info/, also the MSDN article is a must read (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scfc.aspx). (If you're serious about it, you might also want to check out the book Mastering regular expressions from O'Reilly.)
