I'm going to re-enter your RE as though it has the /x modifier so that it's easier to comment on what it's doing... here goes:
/
.* # Match any quantity of any character (or
# none at all)
( # group together, and capture.
[\$#\%>~] # match any one of the following: $#%>~
| # OR
\@\w~\$ # match literal @, a word character, and $
| # OR
\\\[\\e\[0m\\\] \[0m
# match "\[\e[0m\] [0m"
) # end capturing / grouping.
\s? # match a single optional whitespace
/x # End regexp.
So you put that all together and you get a regexp that will match a pretty wierd looking string.
The following strings should match (and MANY others too):
"Hi, I'm Dave\[\e[0m\] [0m"
"121#@$14asdf$"
"@h~$"
Looks pretty peculiar to me.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
