Search "[ -~]" (with or without quotes) to see how good Google's comment is.

The only ambiguous thing about this regex is knowing what's between space and tilde. Otherwise this is a pretty ordinary regex.

The only thing ambiguous about it is most of it?

Not that I agree with the "expect people reading your code to Google things" mindset, but to be fair the only ambiguous thing is the ASCII table which is Googleable.

Hey, might just be me. I'm usually the 'Ben, can you help me with a regular expression' guy over here, but I stumbled, hard, and failed to connect the '-' with a range of characters (probably because I never thought of 'space to .. something').

So I read the snippet, thought 'Yeah, a character class of space, -, ~' and fell on my face in the next couple of lines.

Yeah, I should've known better, I know how to read it. If .. I invest the time and don't glance over a construct and hope to just get it instantly.

I wouldn't want to see this in a code base without proper documentation (be it a comment, a function name or whatever. Something).
