This may help to clean up all kinds of badness in text used for a number of
things:
function cleanASCII pString, pModeList, pCustomList
/*
pModeList is a comma delimited list that may contain the following values:
"lowercase,uppercase,numbers,tabs,newlines,returns,spaces,symbols,custom"
If custom is used, then a third paramaeter containing allowed characters
must be supplied.
sample: put cleanASCII("This is a test!<>?", "uppercase,lowercase", "?"
returns: "This is a test?"
*/
if pModeList is empty then
put " 0-9a-zA-Z" into tAllowedChars
end if
repeat for each item pMode in pModeList
put word 1 of pMode into pMode
switch
break
case "tabs" is in pMode
put "\t" after tAllowedChars
break
case "newlines" is in pMode
put "\n" before tAllowedChars
break
case "returns" is in pMode
put "\r" before tAllowedChars -- currently not working
break
case "spaces" is in pMode
put " " after tAllowedChars
break
case "numbers" is in pMode
put "0-9" after tAllowedChars
break
case "lowercase" is in pMode
put "a-z" after tAllowedChars
break
case "uppercase" is in pMode
put "A-Z" after tAllowedChars
break
case "symbols" is in pMode
put "!#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\\_`{|}~^-" after tAllowedChars
break
case pMode is "custom"
put pCustomList after tAllowedChars
break
end switch
end repeat
put "[" & tAllowedChars & "]" into tMatchText
repeat for each character theChar in pString
if matchtext(theChar, tMatchText) is true then
put theChar after cleanString
end if
end repeat
return cleanString
end cleanASCII
