Here is a thread that deals with a filter for non-ASCII characters ..

> Some software (in my case I'm thinking of MusicIP) cannot handle file and path names that contain diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.: e.g., é, â, ü, ñ). But you may already have a lot of such paths in your music folders. Here is a filter that will find all these files: NOT %\_path% MATCHES ^[a-zA-Z0-9\W\_]\*$

And here is one to split text:

> Will it always be two different scripts, not just languages? Can the English part contain diacritic marks like accents and umlauts?
