But since it seems that fonts and systems will differ as to which
characters are actually invisible, I will need to purge even harmless
visible characters. So my current plan is to use this function:
function scrubbedText txt
-- For tab-delimited
function scrubbedText txt
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
end repea
set itemDelimiter to tab
repeat for each line k in hold
repeat for each item i in k
put word 1 to -1 of i
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
numbers, I don't want to exclude all non-numbers from my table. But since it

A non-breaking space(160) is respected in LC as a word delimiter. But the

just invisible. This would be part of the word it's adjacent to. GIGO. If

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
