in thread How do I determine if a string contains non ascii characters

Agreed. Though things that have problems with "8-bit characters" often also have problems with nul bytes and some control characters so you might consider /[^ -~\s]/ which leaves out nul, "\x7f", and all of the control characters except for the usual "\t\f\r\n". Just depends on what you need. (:
