Christian, there is an easy RegEx way to do it:
Put ReplaceText (OrigText,"[,.;:!?]","") into NoPunct
Whatever you consider punctuation goes inside the []. Quotation
marks are tricky, as are dashes and carets. To include quotation
marks, use...
Put ReplaceText (OrigText,"[,.;:!?" & Quote & "]","") into NoPunct
If a caret is the first character inside the [], then it negates the
list. This means delete everything except the punctuation:
Put ReplaceText (OrigText,"[^,.;:!?]","") into NoPunct
But this means delete the punctuation, including carets:
Put ReplaceText (OrigText,"[,.;:^!?]","") into NoPunct
If you consider a dash as one of the punctuation marks that you'd
like to remove, then it should be the first character inside the []:
Put ReplaceText (OrigText,"[-,.;:!?]","") into NoPunct
By the way, if you are writing a stack where the computer removes
punctuation that a student then has to type back in correctly, I've
written two such stacks. Maybe I could help.
