| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:22 | comment | added | Tim Vermeulen | @Szabolcs Yes! I hadn't thought of that. In general, I have trouble figuring out when to use | and when to use {...,...}, or when to use .. or ..., etcetera. Anything you'd recommend me to read? The official reference pages aren't very n00b-friendly. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:19 | comment | added | Szabolcs | @timvermeulen OK, sounds good. I thought those characters would not be matched on some other OSs. Could you simply use Except[WordCharacter | "'" | "-"]? | |

| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:14 | comment | added | Tim Vermeulen | @Szabolcs I've edited my question, hope it makes sense now. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:13 | history | edited | Tim Vermeulen | CC BY-SA 3.0 | updated code, added output, clearer problem statement |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:11 | comment | added | Tim Vermeulen | @Szabolcs You're right, é is matched by WordCharacter, I must've had some other error in my code. The other problem persists: I don't want ' and - taken out. Is there any way I can change Except[WordCharacter].. to something similar to Except[{WordCharacter,Characters["'-"]}]..? | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 21:06 | comment | added | Tim Vermeulen | @RunnyKine I'd rather have it omit all non-letter characters (except for ' and -), as there are some pretty weird ones in these articles. I'd rather not have to specify them all manually. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 20:49 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Can you give a short but complete example of the problem/difficulty you are seeing (i.e. code I can copy and and run directly), and mention what OS and what version of Mathematica you are using? I don't quite understand the question: what is the problem with é? WordCharacter does match it on my machine, as ToUpperCase/ToLowerCase work fine on it. | |
