I'm writing an Apache mod_rewrite regular expression and I'm trying to make it allow a string of any characters of any length (it's not used for any purposes other than making the URL more informative) and I'd figure it'd be as easy as this:
/[.]*/
I omitted the parenthesis since I don't need it to be a variable but that doesn't work (I assume since . only allows 1 character?)
I know the following works with my intended results:
[a-zA-Z0-9~!@#$%^&*()_+\/>]+
but I figure there must be some code that is better where I don't have to define all the characters. Any ideas?
