Something like this? rereplace(str, '([^A-Za-z0-9_\r\s\n!\.\?''"\(\)&,;:])', '<span class="highlight">\1</span>', 'all')
If you dont mind characters like ñ, then just use \w instead of A-Za-z0-9_ rereplace(str, '([^\w\r\s\n!\.\?''"\(\)&,;:])', '<span class="highlight">\1</span>', 'all') .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to *highlight* any characters that fall out of the range of A-z/0-9/standard punctuation characters. Most of the cflib utilities are made to remove those characters. Anyone know of (or have) a function that will make them stand out? I need to find them in an Oracle database field and highlight any characters that may not "belong", so-to-speak. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
