in thread Regex to detect file name

The Perl regex "shortcut" for A-Za-z0-9 is "\w".
Yes, this shortcut is probably good enough for the case in point. But, without wanting to nitpick, let me just add that \w also matches the underscore ( _). This would be anecdotic in most cases, but it seems that the OP does not want the string to start with an underscore.
