Replace em dash and en dash and hyphens

[coffeeturtle]

Need to perform a StringReplace of the em dash and en dash to strip them from web content pages.

 

Em dash character is not a part of the ASCII character set.  So if I copy and paste an em dash into SciTE it merely appears as a hyphen and therefore no search results.

So instead of seeing:  StringReplace($TtextClean, "—", "   ") it looks like this: For example: StringReplace($TtextClean, "-", "   ") appears correctly on the webpage.

Any suggestions, please?

Thank you.

StringReplace($TtextClean, ChrW(0x2014), " ")  ;em dash

Edit : en dash = 2013
BTW you can replace the 3 dashes in one shot using StringRegExpReplace

$TtextClean = StringRegExpReplace($TtextClean, "\x{2013}|-|\x{2014}" , " ")

Much appreciated. They all worked!
