Check if a String contains a special character

How do you check if a String contains a special character like:

[,],{,},{,),*,|,:,>,

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^a-z0-9 ]", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher m = p.matcher("I am a string");
boolean b = m.find();

if (b)
   System.out.println("There is a special character in my string");

You can use the following code to detect special character from string.

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class DetectSpecial{ 
public int getSpecialCharacterCount(String s) {
     if (s == null || s.trim().isEmpty()) {
         System.out.println("Incorrect format of string");
         return 0;
     }
     Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^A-Za-z0-9]");
     Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
    // boolean b = m.matches();
     boolean b = m.find();
     if (b)
        System.out.println("There is a special character in my string ");
     else
         System.out.println("There is no special char.");
     return 0;
 }
}

If you want to have LETTERS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS and NUMBERS in your password with at least 8 digit, then use this code, it is working perfectly

public static boolean Password_Validation(String password) 
{

    if(password.length()>=8)
    {
        Pattern letter = Pattern.compile("[a-zA-z]");
        Pattern digit = Pattern.compile("[0-9]");
        Pattern special = Pattern.compile ("[!@#$%&*()_+=|<>?{}\\[\\]~-]");
        //Pattern eight = Pattern.compile (".{8}");


           Matcher hasLetter = letter.matcher(password);
           Matcher hasDigit = digit.matcher(password);
           Matcher hasSpecial = special.matcher(password);

           return hasLetter.find() && hasDigit.find() && hasSpecial.find();

    }
    else
        return false;

}

If it matches regex [a-zA-Z0-9 ]* then there is not special characters in it.
