I'm trying to figure out how to filter potentially unknown source pasted text into plain 7 bit ASCII.
Working on a mac, for example, the incoming text might be: - Honest ASCII - Apple 8 bit extended characters - MS characters from a Word document created on MS - Who knows what coming from a virtual machine - HTML clipped from a browser - "moronized" text pasted from MS word to a website, then clipped by a user - who knows what else? I know I need to intercept paste, but I need to reliably take out any of the above that SQLite doesn't like. Fortunately, there is no prospect of dealing with other than English, or out of ASCII set characters--but they might come in anyway, such as curly quotes, or something from another character set. How can I inspect what is there to figure out how to filter it? And, in a similar vein, I need to protect agains who-knows-what that the host OS allows to be entered at the keyboard . . . -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
