aprilz Posted June 29, 2021 at 11:40 PM Report Posted June 29, 2021 at 11:40 PM (edited) There is a Chinese Writing Contest just launched, inviting contestants to write something using only 320 characters. The contest closes on Sep 30. Great prizes have line up. Details are here: https://mslmaster.com/index.php?view=article&id=196&catid=8 Anyone who is interested, do enter. My question is: To check the character requirement, I’m looking for a software which can screen characters and can filter characters out which are not included in the list, if any. I’ve checked with Imron. His Chinese Text Analyzer can do this, with a bit of manoeuvre. Does anyone know any software which is easier to use? Ideally, copy and paste, and press a button, so that each contestant can have a quick check before submitting. Edited July 15, 2023 at 11:22 AM by aprilz Updating a broken link Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted June 30, 2021 at 12:35 AM Report Posted June 30, 2021 at 12:35 AM Try this: https://regexr.com/60vqa It's a bit of a hack as the tool is designed for testing regexes, but should work in a pinch. Paste/type under "Text" (don't edit "Expression" as that's the pattern used to match the characters). 1 1 Quote
