It's exactly the same but you might need to put delimiters around it, e.g. parenthesis:

([^a-zA-Z0-9._-])

See the little difference moving the minus to the end. That is because [.-_] matches ./0...9:;<=>[email protected][\]^_. I guess you're not looking for the negation of this as you had already 0-9 and A-Z covered.

it is the same for this particular regex.

But you can make shorter with:

[^\w.-]

and don't forget that the - character must be placed at the last position in a character class

In php (PCRE) this regular expression looks like

[^a-zA-Z0-9.-_]

Yep, it's exactly the same
