it works perfectly
i would have never thought of that much escaping!:laugh: ]]> RE: problem with macro and regex https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f#4 Fri, 16 Oct 2020 15:45:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f#4 ClipboardFusion Ah, it's treating the quotation mark in the middle of that regex statement as the end of that parameter. You need to escape it with a backslash, like this:

"[\\/:\"*?<>|]"


If those two backslashes are literal as well, you need to escape each one as well, so it would be like this:

"[\\\\/:\"*?<>|]"


When you do \\ inside the quoted parameter, it's treated as one backslash. And when you do \" inside the quoted parameter, it's treated as just ".

Hope that makes sense! ]]> RE: problem with macro and regex https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f#3 Thu, 15 Oct 2020 16:57:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f#3 ClipboardFusion

text= BFS.Clipboard.CopyText();
to have the macro grab the currently highlighted text.

As for this regex statement: 
[\\/:"*?<>|]
. What doesn't work about it? Do you get an error? Or does the macro run but it doesn't match what you're expecting it to? ]]> problem with macro and regex https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f Thu, 08 Oct 2020 20:19:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-with-macro-and-regex/?ID=17d92172-a5ce-4f8c-b7dc-e17f2c7b9e4f ClipboardFusion this is a macro i created

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
public static string ProcessText(string text)
{

text = Regex.Replace(text, "\\n", " ");

text = Regex.Replace(text, "[^a-zA-Z0-9\u0080-\uFFFF.,%_–-]", " ");

text = Regex.Replace(text, "(\\s+)", " ");

return text;
}
}

========

1- the macro is applied to what is already in the clipboard with the assigned (shift+ctrl+c) . how can i make it copy and then apply the function?

2- i wanted to use this here but it give doesn't work !!

Code
Copy
Select All

[\\/:"*?<>|]


i found the ugly that works but not really self explanatory

Code
Copy
Select All

[^a-zA-Z0-9\u0080-\uFFFF.,%_–-]


can you help modify this to work?

Code
Copy
Select All

[\\/:"*?<>|]
