Hi Jonathan,

I tried your functions and I think they are pretty ccol for small texts...

I work with texts over 30 000 words...

I tried this (after some research) :

put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()><.`?/{}’[]|\=-_–'°§…“‘" into tPoncts

    repeat for each char thisChar in tPoncts
        replace thisChar with empty in tVar
    end repeat
    replace quote with empty in tVar
    replace comma with empty in tVar

which speeded up the filtering;

I think : filter ... with "[A-Z0-9]" does the same thing but it depends (eg. Hello' is return as it is)


thanks for your input ;-)

You are going to get a million different approaches to how to do this...

Do you wish to exclude certain particular bits of punctuation, or do you
wish to include only characters that are letters and numbers?

Here is a function for the inclusion approach:


Function NumCharOnly pText
  Repeat for each char tChar in pText
    If tChar is in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890" then
      Put tChar after tReturnText
    End if
  End repeat
  Return tReturnText
End NumCharOnly



Here is a function for the exclusion approach:


Function ExcludePunct pText
  Repeat for each char tChar in pText
If tChar is not in "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()><.,`?/{}[]|\=-_" and tChar <> quote
then
      Put tChar after tReturnText
    End if
  End repeat
  Return tReturnText
End ExcludePunct
