Roderug Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I copy text to the clipboard and want to skip SOME defined non-printing characters before sending it the the next application. Ideally I would like to define the characters to be skipped in a (hard coded) list, but alternatively it would do do if I could save only the ASCII characters.

If IsString('Text') ThenoÝ÷ ÙëÉ"Ú½¨.xz0z÷«jëh×6For $i = 1 To StringLen($String) $Char = StringMid($String, $i, 1) If StringIsASCII($Char) Then ;Something EndIf NextMight be something to work with. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Roderug Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Tanks for your responses. My source are clipboard copies from Microsoft Word and they contain "temporary hyphens". (Don't know the correct English grammar. My office suite is Dutch;). But all your input has enabled me to both solve my problem AND gaining insight in this scripting language.
