Re: string cleaning

Does this look safe for Windows and Mac funny characters? Those will 
always be > 126 ascii decimal correct?

function isPrint pChar
  set the useUnicode to false
  get charToNum(pChar)
  if (it < 32) or (it > 126) then return false
  return true
end isPrint
function printableCharString pString
 local tRes, c
 repeat for each character c in pString
   if isPrint(c) then put c after tRes
 end repeat
 return tRes
end printableCharString

Looks OK to me, Alex; but why not just use:

function printableCharString pString
 local tRes, c
 repeat for each character c in pString
   if c < space or c > "~" then next repeat
   put c after tRes
 end repeat
 return tRes
end printableCharString
