Apart from skipping the control characters (0 - 31), you should perhaps
also filter out 127 (the delete-character).
Thus:

WHILE (ptr%?i%>=32) AND (ptr%?i% <> 127) AND (i%<255)
etc.

Normally, ASC127 doesn't slip easily into a string, but if there are
reasons for expecting rubbish, as you say, you better be sure.

Kind regards,
