Only allow keyboard characters in a string?

[AntunB]

Ok how would i get a string, and if it contains non keyboard characters discard it?

so if it contains ascii <32 and >126 discard it?????

so i have a word "HEY" it should be ok, but if i have a word "þoo" its not ok, because the first character is ascii 999

so it would need to check every characher in the string

Thanks?

Take a look at the For ... Next instruction and at the Len, Mid, Asc functions.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hey thanks made sumthing

For j = 1 to Len(arr(i))
	If Asc(Mid(arr(i), j, 1)) >126 Then
		'do some stuff
	End If
Next

tmp = ""
For j = 1 To Len(arr(i))
x = Mid(arr(i), j, 1)
If Asc(x) >= 32 And Asc(x) <= 126 Then
tmp = tmp & x
End If
Next
arr(i) = tmp
