Reply To: Stripping non-alphabetic characters out of a field

[Traci Zee]

As a corollary:

How do I substitute ” for all characters out of a string that are > 0x7e?

I’ve tried: regsub -all {[\x7e-\xff]} $str {“} outstr

and it errors with:

couldn’t compile regular expression pattern: invalid [] range

   while executing

“regsub -all {[\x7e-\xff]} $str {“} outstr”

I can’t get the right syntax for the hex values in the range.

TIA!
