RegEx Help

I've spent a lot of time on this and can't seem to get it right.
I need a regex that says the following:
Find ANY character (including spaces) other than the following characters:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period, and underscore.
The problem with the ones I've created, is the regex would find a letter and
return True, because the letter wasn't a number, period, or underscore. I
need it to find a character that is not any of the charcters listed above.
Anyone care to help?

[^A-Za-z0-9\._]
(The ^ in there says "anything but...)

not A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period, and underscore = [^A-Za-z0-9._]

The reason mine was wrong was that I escaped the period when I didn't need to.
Always listen to Ben.
