Ah yes. That's a great one too.

I've used it a lot lately - i'm new to RegEx and this makes it a lot
less intimidating!

Hi guys,
Sorry to barge in, but I found this site to be helpful with RegExp.
Might help you too. Its in javascript, but found it easily
translated into AS.

String.replace() then a regular expression like /[,\.!\?:;\\\/]/g
and
replace it with nothing: "". You'll probably want to check which
characters
to remove but remember to use an escape slash for certain
characters.
Haven't tried it but there are some examples and lots of help in
the docs
and more online. not that knowledgeable on regular expressions to
be honest.

Thanks David.
I think you understood exactly what I want.
The String.split() was also what I had in mind, but I don't know
how to do
a
regular expression to strip out any punctuation or unwanted
characters.
Do you have an example of such action?

Not entirely sure if i understand what you want to do, but you
could use a
regular expression to strip out any punctuation or unwanted
characters.
String.split() breaks a string into an array of strings by using a
specified
delimiter which could be a " " space in this situation, so each
word is an
element in an array.
Apply this process to both your strings and you end up with two
arrays
which
should be easy to compare words and cycle through all the
elements. Hope
that helps, but I've probably misunderstood what you want to do!

Subject: [Flashcoders] How to handle String the best way
Hi List,
I am trying to find how to best compare 2 strings(word by word).
I have 2 texts, one fully written and one abbreviated.
The texts have exactly the same amount of words and they are in
the same
order.
So in the text field one word is highlighted.
The user has to fill in the abbreviation of the text(word by
word).
The user fills in his "translation" and ENTERS to confirm.
And then the app has to compare the words.
He can choose to practice from abbreviation to fully written
words or
vice
versa.
So what is the best way to do this, keeping in mind that special
characters
(like .,:;! space) must not be judged.
Any idea is welcome.
TIA
Cor
