Just a general question on stripping out non-ASCII characters. I use this Regex in various text editors to stripout the characters, how would I go about also taking out some ASCII characters as well, such as @,?, and so on.
Also, there's a lot of text, normally with a black background, such as NUL or STX etc. I assume that these are some sort of control characters. How can I remove these as well?

Re: How to List Filenames Containing Non-ASCII Characters
Please try including the following regex search:
regex:[^\x20!\x22#$%&'()*+,\-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\\\]^_`a-z{0x7c}~]
\ = escape character.
\x20 = space
\x22 = literal double quote (")
\x7c = |
Take out any of the ASCII characters you want to include.
regex:[^\x20!\x22#$%&'()*+,\-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\\\]^_`a-z{0x7c}~]
\ = escape character.
\x20 = space
\x22 = literal double quote (")
\x7c = |
Take out any of the ASCII characters you want to include.
Re: How to List Filenames Containing Non-ASCII Characters
Thanks, I tried this on Notepad++, and it worked, but to remove the characters ? and @ I had to remove them from the line:
regex:[^\x20!\x22#$%&'()*+,\-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\\\]^_`a-z{0x7c}~]
The above worked, but there are still a few characters I would like to remove..How do I do this?
Is the Regex structure used in Notepad++, and other programmes, slightly different from Regex in Everything?
I think, what I need to do, is to remove everything, so that I'm just left with letters and numbers, also, not sure if this is possible, be left with just letters and numbers, except for @ when it's included in a email address.

What characters would like to show?The above worked, but there are still a few characters I would like to remove..How do I do this?
Remove the characters you want to show from:
regex:[^\x20!\x22#$%&'()*+,\-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\\\]^_`a-z{0x7c}~]
Note: a-z, A-Z and 0-9 specify a range and \ starts an escape sequence.

Re: How to List Filenames Containing Non-ASCII Characters
I'm not sure what you want.
The following will show almost all files because of the . in the file extension:
regex:[^a-z0-9]
To skip the extension, try something like:
regex:[^a-z0-9].*\.[a-z]*$
This will still match most filenames because of spaces, - and .
To include space, - and .
regex:[^a-z0-9\-\x20\.].*\.[a-z]*$
To ignore filenames that match a basic email address, include the following in your search:
!regex:^[a-z0-9\._\-]+@[a-z0-9\._\-]+$
