This was very helpful. Thank you! It works wonderfully for stripping nikudos off of a shoresh. I translated your algorithm to Ruby, for use in a personal project.

def stripVowels(rawString)
newString = ”
rawString.mb_chars.each_char do |c|
newString << c if c.ord1479
end
return newString
end

Thank you! This code is incredible, even if I haven’t any idea how to actually use it on my mac….. So I’ll be using your page to remove the vowels when I need to. I hope you’ll keep it right here.

Hello,
I’d very much like to use your code to strip the vowels from either a Unicode file or an Excel spreadsheet with multiple Hebrew words. How can I make it work? Thanks so much.
Best,
Lance
