And how can a user find the difference? I mean... that special character is matched when a simple semicolon is searched by CTRL+F on Notepad, but regexmatches didn't recognized it as a twin.

@SammaySarkar: how did you find the difference?

You're mean... :mrgreen: $blklist = "oinutter.wav,oops.wav,justyouwait.wav"; // blacklist of common words, comma (",") separated //you can just comment it so no blacklist will be applied $out = ""; $out2 = ""; $input = formatlist(<clipboard>, se, <crlf>); $inp...

A-hah!!! :P But... why ASC reported it as being 59? Why once pasted into the forum and copied from it it behaves as a regular semicolon? Is there a general formula which could prevent ANY breaking of regexmatches on any other unknown character like this one? Could you please elaborate a bit on this?...

Eliminate the semicolon which is not being recognized by the described routine.

In this case it is known, SammaySarkar.

I have several of those files and online locations to process thus the need of mastering the problem.
Have you tried to use readfile on the sample plus the posted test script?

>sigh<

Ok, I'll do it again and post it later.

Hello, SammaySarkar! Thanks for popping up. $tk = "(te);"; step; $tk = regexreplace($tk, "chr(59)", ""); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim($tk, eval("chr(59)")); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim("$tk", "*;(+).&qu...

...in the trash bin...?

I was so disappointed by my results that I threw it away, highend. May recall the dumb routines I used but it would be a total shame posting that here. Please spare me.

Using the inputs posted here http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=730&p=138363#p138363 highend suggested he could improve execution times a bit. He can!, as his solution goes with 1313 ms against fabulous 22547 msecs o'mine. Trying to integrate a blacklist on it breaks the code a...

What?
I insert it right into the Run Script dialogue. Once done coding, then I paste both code and processed text into plain text files.

highend wrote:Ehm, removing of quotes around $tk has what to do with this case?
This is just unnecessary quoting, that's all.

I agree.

How do you do the measurement???

It's a trick problem. If you bother... Go here: http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/mercado/2016/05/1771547-vai-viajar-para-o-exterior-veja-o-que-pode-trazer-na-bagagem.shtml Put the text in print preview, copy the whole page; Paste the content on a notepad window; Locate "(SP);" on it, copy it a...

I really cant take it. Now it's not working again: $tk = "(te);"; step; $tk = regexreplace($tk, "chr(59)", ""); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim($tk, eval("chr(59)")); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim("$tk", "*;...

So it seems I don't understand quoting too. Removing quotes on "$tk" makes it work. "*;(+)." What's that, a regex pattern? No. Those characters, perhaps more, if present on input make regexmatches throw error messages for each time they happen on a loop. Anyway I'm considering as...

Sure. $tk = "(test);"; // step; $tk = regexreplace("$tk", "chr(59)", ""); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim("$tk", eval("chr(59)")); //otherwise regexmatches will bitch... $tk = trim("$tk", "*;(+)."); //o...
