Thanks for your help with this Narinder

I'm still struggling, mostly because I don't know how to use Regex properly.

None of the regex patterns I can find online for removing emojis seem to
work at all.

I would be quite happy just to restrict the text to alphanumeric and the
kind of special characters I would find on an English keyboard, as we're not
likely to receive feedback in other languages. 

Can anyone help me with

a) how to use a regex pattern either to omit emojis or only include
alpanumeric + english special characters. Essentially the ASCII character
set;

b) how to use regex to build a string which only includes the characters I
want.

I've downloaded the Regex plugin from Pluggers and think this code should
work - if I can find the right pattern:

ARRAY TEXT($textarray;0)
Preg Match All ($pattern;$original;$textarray)

$cleaned:=""
For ($i;1;Size of array($textarray)
$cleaned:=$cleaned +$textarray{$i}
end for

This seems more complicated than it should be, so would be grateful for any
help.

Thanks!

James
