Hopeless at regex: allowing '+' in permitted_uri_chars - El Forum - 01-05-2009

Hi all,
Regex is not my strong point at all! Can anyone let me know how I can allow the plus symbol in uri strings?
Thanks,
Dan.

every regex meta character can be escaped by putting a backward slash in front of it.

Ah many thanks - so now I can allow +s, I can't allow %s?
So why doesn't the following...
a-z 0-9~%.:_\-\+\%
...allow this strring...
139+New+Kings+Road,+London
? The percentage sign is disallowed...?
