Your current regular expression matches anything that is not a number, not a character, and not whitespace.

Consider changing it so that it matches anything that is not a number, not a character unless it's one between I and V, and not whitespace.

Something like:
[^0-9a-hw-z\s]

Regular expressions are as easy as breaking it down into what you want.
You can test your logic on sites like this one.
