OK. I zipped it in case your mime settings are goofy.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5111961/grep%20ascii%20high.rtf.zip

Are you on a Mac? It is a Mac rtf file, works for me as rtf, in Windows XP and Mac, but try the zip...
ascii is a-z and numbers, the [[=a==]] etc. are for accented variations of characters that have alternates, punct is "most" punctuation, then a ton of chars that still weren't found.

Here is the "file" as email text, which may or may not work for you (email messes up Unicode characters, sometimes)

A grep search to use in an InDesign grep style that styles all characters available in Berkeley Std (and some other Opentype fonts). If you don't want all the characters, delete some. Useful to style the "western" characters of non-western fonts. (LiSong in my case)

\d|[[:ascii:]]|[[=a=]]|[[=e=]]|[[=c=]]|[[=i=]]|[[=o=]]|[[=u=]]|[[=d=]]|[[=n=]]|[[=y=]]|[[=s=]]|[[=z=]]|[[=l=]]|[[:punct:]]|[~¢£¤¥¦§¨©¬®¯°±²³´¸¶¹¼½¾??°?˜?™-$+<=>^`|×÷//·v8?˜?=?e????€ÆÞߜæþiŒƒ??¯Opµˆ?µ]

The above covers all the characters shown in Berkeley Std's ID glyphs panel (Opentype, so more than just low ascii & high ascii, maybe?) These are all the glyphs:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿiLlŒœŠšŸŽžƒˆ?¯??°?˜?Oµp-–—‘’‚“”„†‡•…‰‹›/€™Oe????-/·v8?˜?=???

Thank you Peter.

Bret, would it be possible for you to re-post the file you placed on
dropbox. There must be some corruption happening.

Thank you
