Technical question

[mapsedge]

Is there a regular expression that would allow me to replace any character above ASCII-128 in a string with the HTML entity equiv, an in:

replace in {string}:  ascii-X with &#X; where X between 128 and 255

It would save a nested loop if I could figure out how to do it in one statement.

Here's where I show my ignorance... but are you looking for something like this?

ascii_to_entities(str [string])

Converts ASCII to Entities

Class: Regex (REGX)

Description: Returns str after converting higher ASCII values into HTML entities where possible. Only use when the auto_convert_high_ascii config file preference is set to yes (i.e. $PREFS->ini('auto_convert_high_ascii') == 'y').
