Hello Tobias, Note that only 4 digits hex codes are supported by the Java/Oxygen regex engine with the \u unicode code point. If you use 5 digits, the 5th digit is interpreted independently as a literal, so this creates undesired side effects. e.g. [\u0100-\u1F9FF] is interpreted as [\u0100-\u1F9F]|[F]. So you are inadvertently also matching "F".

Hi Andreas,

sure, this can be done with basic regex query:|[\u00D8-\u00F6]| ||

|And for your example: [\u0100-\u1F9FF] Unfortunately, oXygen 18 seems to have a bug with this query (precisely: with 5 digit hex codes) as it also matches characters below \u0100 (which is the following of \u00FF). However, you can also work with negation: [^\u0000-\u00FF] And this seems to work fine :) Regards, Tobias | Tobias Fischer XML- und E-Book-Entwicklung

Dear all,

In order to make sure that we have caught all special characters in an externally transcribed TEI/XML file, I would like to seach for all characters above Unicode Codepoint 0x00ff. Can this be done in the Regular Expression Find box? (I found the search for single unicode codepoints with \u, \x etc., but can't figure out if this can be used to search for characters (not) in codepoint ranges.

Thanks for any suggestion,

Andreas

Duh. I bet you must have heard my head banging on the desk even in Leipzig. Thank you a lot, I don't know if I would have come to think of this otherwise. Cheers, Andreas * Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex dixit [2016-06-24 10:24]:

Either positively [\u0100-\uffff] (it doesn’t seem to stretch above 4 hex digits yet) or [^\u0000-\u00ff]
