Hi, I have a text file with many lines of text. I would like to find and delete lines that contains ascii other than those from Hex 20 to Hex 7A.

Example:
×³â€×³â€¢×³Â¨×³â€œ×³â€ dragonbol
zx naissan 300 turbo

Line 1 is to be deleted but not line 2.

Please help. Thank you.

Following Perl regular expression worked with UE v14.00b.

Find What: ^.*[^\x20-\x7a\r\n\t].*\r*\n
Replace With: nothing

^ ... start of line
.* ... any character 0 or more times except new line chars
[^\x20-\x7a\r\n\t] ... a single character not hex 20 to 7A and not a CR, LF or tab
.* ... any character 0 or more times except new line chars
\r* ... carriage return (CR) 0 or more times
\n ... line feed (LF)
