Advice on regexp - Non word characters

[ssimop]

I am sorry, but I am in need to ask again question on regexp. I am afraid I am still studying and learning this issue. The question : I need to replace non word characters. I failed using \w in that it cannot detect unicode characters in greek character set. Therefore, I by-passed this problem using the following expression :

st.replacerx("\d|\,|\.|\\|\: |\(|\)|\_|\%|\$" " ")

I wonder whether there exists a simpler way to do it. Many thanks in advance.

QM regular expressions cannot recognize Unicode word/nonword characters.
If all Unicode characters in your text are word characters, use this regular expression:

Code:

str s="Liepa ąžoulas beržas"
s.replacerx("[^\w\x80-\xff]" "-")
out s

Another option - use C# Regex class.

Macro Macro274

Code:

Copy      Help

str s="Liepa ąžoulas beržas●"
s=CsFunc("" s "\W" "-")
out s


#ret
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static string RegexReplace(string s, string rx, string repl)
{
return Regex.Replace(s, rx, repl);
}
