how to delete ponctuation in a textfield

[Christian Langers]

Hi Jonathan,

I tried your functions and I think they are pretty ccol for small  
texts...

I work with texts over 30 000 words...

I tried this (after some research) :

put "~!@#$%^&*()><.`?/{}’[]|\=-_–'°§…“‘" into tPoncts

     repeat for each char thisChar in tPoncts
     	replace thisChar with empty in tVar
     end repeat
     replace quote with empty in tVar
     replace comma with empty in tVar

which speeded up the filtering;

I think : filter ... with "[A-Z0-9]" does the same thing but it  
depends (eg. Hello' is return as it is)


thanks for your input ;-)


Christian
