[thelist] Javascript regular expression question

Howdy, I'm trying to clean up text that is pasted into form fields in an 
application. In particular, I'm trying to make sure I strip out all the 
control characters. Generically, the regexes I'm trying to implement are:

[\x00-\x09]
[\x0B-\x0C]
[\x0E-\x1F]
[\x7F-\x9F]

The regex tester at regular-expressions.info tells me that 
/[\x00-\x09]/g doesn't match my control character that I pasted in, but 
it also doesn't tell me my regex is wrong either.

Any js regex folks want to help me out with the syntax?

Thanks in advance,
Judah
