Match Regular Expression missing a pattern

Thanks yall. So, the bandaid solution ended up requiring me to look at the probed data. Exactly as Phillip said,

When I looked at some probed data, the ° character showed up like this:

So, I basically just slapped that into one of my filters/expressions:

And that seemed to do the job.

While I personally have zero Python experience, I imagine some of these python suggestions would be helpful for others.

I totally redid my various regex filters and managed to shave off a step or two. Maybe if I do it again down the road I can get one or two more out.

Could you just change that segment of the string to [^<]*? Your problem seems to be that you're trying to list all possible allowable characters, but really you're just trying to find the <, right?

I think in my next iteration maybe that is something I could do. I know part of why I used the specific string set is because I wanted to make sure I only grabbed certain tables and sections and things. Like, I think I am expecting certain characters in some of the tables that I don't want filtered out. And when I did [\s\S]* I accidentally ate the entire page. I'll have to take a look at this!

thats an encoding error.

you might want to try the utf-8 to (labview)text function https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/undocumented-function-quot-text-to-utf-8-quot/m-p/1034616#M460673
