Hi Bob, nice function. Just for my interest, what is the function of the leading "break" in the switch control structure? It doesn't seem to bother, but any advantage? Tiemo

I refactored the whole thing to be much more robust. Pass a string, a modelist and a custom list. This will act as a simple regex character filter for any string you pass it. (Great for filtering out hidden/non-printing characters!) If you only pass it a string and no arguements, it will return uppercase, lowercase, numbers and spaces. The modelist can be any items in "tabs,newlines,returns,spaces,numbers,lowercase,uppercase,symbols,custom". If the modelist contains "custom" then pass any other characters you want to include in pCustomList. Modifications welcome, but remember this is just a character by character filter and NOT a full blown regex replacement. That would put me in the funny farm for sure.
