You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
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
filtered copy and swap
Take advantage of the the fact that char is an 8-bit integer in C.
Unsigned char is used throughout to enablethe extended ASCII set.
A random function is called to generate a mix of good and bad values.
A temp buffer is created with only valid characters, and swapped for the original.
A true/false function checks if the character is in the valid range.

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. <lang Icon>procedure main(A) write(image(deletec(&ascii,&ascii--(&ascii)[33:127]))) end link strings </lang>
The IPL procedure deletec is equivalent to this: <lang Icon>procedure deletec(s, c) #: delete characters
result := "" s ? { while result ||:= tab(upto(c)) do tab(many(c)) return result ||:= tab(0) }
end</lang>

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 credited Ada solely for the sensible fromch / toch / abovech idea.
with javascript_semantics requires("1.0.2") -- (param default fixes in pwa/p2js) function filter_it(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_it(full)) -- default values for fromch, toch, and abovech put_line("\" and no Extended:", filter_it(full, abovech:=#FF)) -- defaults for fromch and toch
- Output:
(desktop/Phix, in a grubby Windows console)
The full string: " abc+®def�", Length:11 No Control Chars: " abc+®def", Length:9 " and no Extended: " abcdef", Length:7
(pwa/p2js)
The full string: " abcédef?", Length:10 No Control Chars: " abcédef", Length:8 " and no Extended: " abcdef", Length:7
The reason is that JavaScript handles unicode slightly differently. On desktop/Phix, \u0000 is treated as the single byte #00, and likewise \u007F as the single byte #7F, but \u00E9 is converted to the utf-8 sequence #C3,#A9 - hence the disagreement over the initial and middle lengths. For proper compatibility you would have to start playing with utf8_to_utf32() and friends. Also as you can see the grubby Windows console does not display utf8 nicely, so we get an ugly "+®" for what should be a single \u00E9 character. You should get slightly better results on a Linux console, and maybe if you have more fonts installed on Windows than I do, things might look better with a different one, plus of course the text is far more likely to display correctly in a GUI, but that's a bit beyond the remit of this simple task I fear.

Control characters in strings are written with a hat (^) in PicoLisp. ^? is the DEL character. <lang PicoLisp>(de stripCtrl (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). <lang 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{|}~' $=

say 'old = »»»'z"«««" /*add ««fence»» before & after old text*/ say 'new = »»»'$"«««" /* " " " " " new " */</lang>
- output:

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. <lang 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 " */</lang>

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:
<lang ti83b>#$&@;_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz|~</lang>
The double quote character (ASCII decimal 34) can be entered, but cannot be escaped and thus cannot be stored to strings without the use of hex editors. The following program will remove double quotes from the input string if they were hacked in simply because having one stored to the "check" string is syntactically invalid.
So, in sum, you have to hack the calculator to enter in this program, but once it's entered you can transfer it to unhacked calculators and it will work.
<lang ti83b>:" !#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~"→Str0
- Input ">",Str1
- ":"+Str1+":"→Str1

- sub(Str1,1,I-1)+sub(Str1,I+1,length(Str1)-(I+1))→Str1
