    - [!] finds the exclamation character.

    - A-Z finds all letters of the alphabet in upper case.

    - a-z finds all lower case letters.

    - A-Za-z will find all alphabetic characters.

    - [^...] is the inverse. So, if we put these three together: [^A-Za-z] finds any character except an alphabetic character.

    - Notice that only one of the [^A-Za-z] is in parentheses (). This is recalled by \1 in the Replace with field. The characters outside of the parentheses are discarded.
