When we perform Clipboard actions or read data via OCR activities, sometimes Non ASCII are inserted into String. These characters do not have any symbols but a functionality is attached to them. They cannot be removed via Trim function and even if we try to check the length of the string via .Length function, they do not appear. However if we try to write those in a textbox or in Excel, the activities throw unknown exceptions.

This reusable component helps us to filter out those characters by checking the ASCII value associated to each character.

Component accepts a string as input and it checks for any Non ASCII characters to remove them and return the filtered string
