Need a regex expression to validate a java string

Question

I need a java regex expression which can allow a string containing Alpha Numeric, space, hyphen, aphostophy, &, (), ", min 1 characters and max 100 Characters.

I tried with ^[a-zA-Z -`&(),\"]{1,100}$. But it is returning true in conditions where string contains * or | etc.

Escape the `-` in the character class or place it at the start or end. This way it will create a range. — The fourth bird, Apr 15 '20 at 06:46
`^[-a-zA-Z \`&(),"]{1,100}$` as an unescaped `-` must be at first or last position in a character class. — anubhava, Apr 15 '20 at 06:47
