Have you considered the opposite? Removing all letters, numbers and spaces, leaving only punctuation and line breaks? Its very rare to have valid sentences composed of lines with more than, say 4 or 5 punctuation marks per line. I wonder if one could develop rule around bodies composed of more than, say X number of excessively punctuated lines. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
