{{task}}
The task is to strip control codes and extended characters from a string. The solution should demonstrate how to achieve each of the following results:
- a string with control codes stripped (but extended characters not stripped)
- a string with control codes and extended characters stripped
In ASCII, the control codes have decimal codes 0 through to 31 and 127. On an ASCII based system, if the control codes are stripped, the resultant string would have all of its characters within the range of 32 to 126 decimal on the ASCII table.
On a non-ASCII based system, we consider characters that do not have a corresponding glyph on the ASCII table (within the ASCII range of 32 to 126 decimal) to be an extended character for the purpose of this task.

'c' & Character'Val(127) & Character'Val(203) &
Character'Val(202) & "de";
-- 5 ordinary characters ('a' .. 'e')
-- 2 control characters (11, 127); note that 11 is the "vertical tab"
-- 3 extended characters (166, 203, 202)
function Filter(S: String;
From: Character := ' ';
To: Character := Character'Val(126);
Above: Character := Character'Val(127)) return String is
begin
if S'Length = 0 then
return "";
elsif (S(S'First) >= From and then S(S'First) <= To) or else S(S'First) > Above then
return S(S'First) & Filter(S(S'First+1 .. S'Last), From, To, Above);
else
return Filter(S(S'First+1 .. S'Last), From, To, Above);
end if;
end Filter;
procedure Put_Line(Text, S: String) is
begin

Put_Line("No Control Chars:", Filter(Full)); -- default values for From, To, and Above
Put_Line("Neither_Extended:", Filter(Full, Above => Character'Last)); -- defaults for From and To

## Go
Go works for ASCII and non-ASCII systems. The first pair of functions below interpret strings as byte strings, presumably useful for strings consisting of ASCII and 8-bit extended ASCII data. The second pair of functions interpret strings as UTF-8.
```go
package main
import (
"golang.org/x/text/transform"
"golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm"
"fmt"
"strings"
)
// two byte-oriented functions identical except for operator comparing c to 127.
func stripCtlFromBytes(str string) string {
b := make([]byte, len(str))
var bl int
for i := 0; i < len(str); i++ {
c := str[i]
if c >= 32 && c != 127 {
b[bl] = c
bl++
}
}
return string(b[:bl])
}
func stripCtlAndExtFromBytes(str string) string {
b := make([]byte, len(str))
var bl int
for i := 0; i < len(str); i++ {
c := str[i]
if c >= 32 && c < 127 {
b[bl] = c
bl++
}
}
return string(b[:bl])
}
// two UTF-8 functions identical except for operator comparing c to 127
func stripCtlFromUTF8(str string) string {
return strings.Map(func(r rune) rune {
if r >= 32 && r != 127 {
return r
}

}
func stripCtlAndExtFromUTF8(str string) string {

return -1

}

isOk := func(r rune) bool {

We'll use ''deletec'' to remove unwanted characters (2nd argument) from a string (1st argument). The procedure below coerces types back and forth between string and cset. The character set of unwanted characters is the difference of all ASCII characters and the ASCII characters from 33 to 126.
```Icon
procedure main(A)
write(image(deletec(&ascii,&ascii--(&ascii)[33:127])))
end
link strings
```
{{libheader|Icon Programming Library}}
[http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/library/src/procs/strings.icn strings.icn provides deletec]
The IPL procedure ''deletec'' is equivalent to this:
```Icon
procedure deletec(s, c) #: delete characters
result := ""
s ? {
while result ||:= tab(upto(c)) do tab(many(c))
return result ||:= tab(0)
}
end

Peloton has a native instruction for removing control codes from a string, SAL, the Low ASCII Strip. From the manual:

in it
Strip control characters <@ SAYSALVAR>i
Assign infix <@ LETVARSALVAR>j|i <@ SAYVAR>j
Assign prepend <@ LETSALVARVAR>k|i <@ SAYVAR>k
Reflexive assign <@ ACTSALVAR>i <@ SAYVAR>i
```
Peloton also has SAH, High ASCII Strip. Again, from the manual:
```sgml>Create variable with high and low ANSI: <@ SAYLETVARLIT

While you can delete a character from a string using say s[i..i] = "", the fastest and easiest way is always just
to build a new one character-by-character.
I've credited Ada solely for the sensible fromch/toch/abovech idea.
```Phix
function filter(string s, integer fromch=' ', toch=#7E, abovech=#7F)
string res = ""
for i=1 to length(s) do
integer ch = s[i]
if ch>=fromch and (ch<=toch or ch>abovech) then
res &= ch
end if
end for
return res
end function
procedure put_line(string text, s)
printf(1,"%s \"%s\", Length:%d\n",{text,s,length(s)})
end procedure
string full = "\u0000 abc\u00E9def\u007F"
put_line("The full string:", full)
put_line("No Control Chars:", filter(full)) -- default values for fromch, toch, and abovech
put_line("\" and no Extended:", filter(full, abovech:=#FF)) -- defaults for fromch and toch
```

## Racket
```Racket
#lang racket
;; Works on both strings (Unicode) and byte strings (raw/ASCII)
(define (strip-controls str)

## REXX
Note that ''guillemets'' were used as fences in presenting/displaying the «««before»»» and «««after»»» text strings.
### idiomatic version
This REXX version processes each character in an idiomatic way (if it's a wanted character, then keep it).
```rexx
/*REXX program strips all "control codes" from a character string (ASCII or EBCDIC). */
z= 'string of ☺☻♥♦⌂, may include control characters and other ♫☼§►↔◄░▒▓█┌┴┐±÷²¬└┬┘ilk.'
@=' !"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~'
$=
do j=1 for length(z); _=substr(z, j, 1) /*get a char from X one at a time. */
if verify(_, @)==0 then $=$ || _ /*Is char in the @ list? Then use it.*/
end /*j*/ /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */
say 'old = »»»'z"«««" /*add ««fence»» before & after old text*/
say 'new = »»»'$"«««" /* " " " " " new " */
```
{{out|output}}
```txt
old = »»»string of ☺☻♥♦⌂, may include control characters and other ♫☼§►↔◄░▒▓█┌┴┐±÷²¬└┬┘ilk.«««
new = »»»string of , may include control characters and other ilk.«««
```
### faster version
This REXX version only deletes unwanted characters.
It also shows a different way of performing concatenations (without using abutments, and a way to split a long literal (character) string.
Because there are (or should be) fewer unwanted characters than wanted characters, this version is faster.
```rexx
/*REXX program strips all "control codes" from a character string (ASCII or EBCDIC). */
x= 'string of ☺☻♥♦⌂, may include control characters and other ♫☼§►↔◄░▒▓█┌┴┐±÷²¬└┬┘ilk.'
@=' !"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghij' || ,
'klmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~'
$=x /*set "new" string to same as the old. */
do until _=0; _=verify($, @) /*check if any character isn't in @.*/
if _\==0 then $=delstr($, _, 1) /*Is this a bad char? Then delete it.*/
end /*until*/ /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */
say 'old = »»»' || x || "«««" /*add ««fence»» before & after old text*/
say 'new = »»»' || $ || "«««" /* " " " " " new " */
```

## Seed7
Seed7 [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/manual/types.htm#string strings] are UTF-32 encoded,
therefore no destinction between BYTE and Unicode strings is necessary.
The example below uses [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/utf8.htm#STD_UTF8_OUT STD_UTF8_OUT]
from the library [http://seed7.sourceforge.net/libraries/utf8.htm utf8.s7i], to write
Unicode characters with UTF-8 encoding to the console.
```seed7
$ include "seed7_05.s7i";
include "utf8.s7i";
const func string: stripControl (in string: stri) is func
result
var string: stripped is "";

var integer: old_pos is 1;
var integer: index is 0;
var char: ch is ' ';

for ch key index range stri do
if ch < ' ' or ch = '\127;' then
stripped &:= stri[old_pos .. pred(index)];
old_pos := succ(index);
end if;

=={{header|TI-83 BASIC}}==
TI-83 BASIC doesn't support ASCII or Unicode, so the following program just strips every character that doesn't have a corresponding glyph from 32 to 126 decimal in a real ASCII table.
The following "normal characters" do exist, but can't be typed on the calculator and a hex editor must be used to enter them:
```ti83b
#$&@;_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz|~
```
The double quote character (ASCII decimal 34) can be entered, but cannot be escaped and thus cannot be stored to strings without the use of hex editors. The following program will remove double quotes from the input string if they were hacked in simply because having one stored to the "check" string is syntactically invalid.
So, in sum, you have to hack the calculator to enter in this program, but once it's entered you can transfer it to unhacked calculators and it will work.
```ti83b
:" !#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~"→Str0
:Input ">",Str1
:":"+Str1+":"→Str1
:For(I,2,length(Str1)-2)
:If not(inString(Str0,sub(Str1,I,1)))
:sub(Str1,1,I-1)+sub(Str1,I+1,length(Str1)-(I+1))→Str1
:End
:sub(Str1,2,length(Str1)-1)→Str1
:Pause Str1
```
