repeat for each char k in txt
if charToNum(k) 31 or charToNum(k) 127 then put k after hold
else put space after hold

Thanks for the helpful responses on this question. A complication is that while
I want to get rid of invisible characters that cause seeming-numbers not to be

For a tab-delimited table of numbers, I want to be sure that none of the

My suggested solution is where ever the data originally came from, prior to
inputting into your fields, variables or custom properties, it should be
tested to confirm that the data only contains ASCII chars 48 to 57
That should have been put after tCleanText
repeat with x = 1 to number of chars in pText
if char x of pText is in tList then put char x of pText in tCleanText
end repeat
