Piece of cake. Put it in a character set.
[\w\s/.]+
(being careful to escape that / if you're inside a
search-n-replace that uses / as its delimiters).
In short, brackets denote character sets and match any
character contained within them.
[a] matches a.
[ab] matches a or b.
[a\W] matches any character that is either a or a
non-word.
[a-z] matches a through z.
perldoc perlre for tons more info. I also strongly
recommend "Mastering Regular Expressions" from
O'reilly.
