Question

I need to remove all non Letter and Mark (Unicode categories) characters from a string. Currently I’m splitting and subsequently joining a string like so:

text.split("[\\p{P} \\t\\n\\r]")

My RegEx is however… acutely inadequate. Please help.

EDIT
I think this will work:

text.split("[\\P{M}\\P{L}]")

Answer 1

Try this:

text = text.replaceAll("[^\\p{L}\\p{M}]", "");
