Our end users have a nasty habit of typing documents in Microsoft word, then block & copy into a transcription system, and send to Cloverleaf via an HL7 interface.

  Nothing for just “word” special characters but we have done something similar to what you have done.
  
  regsub -all {[^x20-x7E]} $msg “”
  
  Of course we just used TCL and put it as a PRE-Xlate proc to filter out any non-printable characters.

  Hey Rob,
  
  I like the way you handled it with a pre xlate proc. I think I will change mine around to do the same. Thanks for the reply.
