Clipboard cleaner

[dthatcher]

Hello! I am looking for a utility that will automatically strip a certain list of characters from text copied to the clipboard. For example, if I copy "A-123-456*567X", and I have "-" and "*" on my list of characters to strip, when I go to paste I would get "A123456567X".

you could use my clipboard help+spell program and create a text formatting preset that would strip those characters and paste the stripped version when triggered from the popup hotkey menu.  though it might be overkill for the simple function you are looking for if you don't need anything else.

Autohotkey's StringReplace command could also come in handy.. here is something right off the help file:

;If clipboard contains - or *, remove them..
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, -, , All
StringReplace, clipboard, clipboard, *, , All
MsgBox %clipboard%
