Regular Expression help please...

Does anybody have a regular expression to be used in the validation controls
of asp.net that checks if the text inputted is:

1) alphanumeric and doesn't include special characters and symbols
2) but allows multilanguage characters or unicode characters

I would prefer it to the format of character set/ class.My head is totally
messed up and dizzy looking for this regex. Thanks in advance.

to restrict entry and just write a lil big JS code and wire it to Lost
focus/similiar event of the textbox.

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated
