Hello experts

I need to remove special characters in a string thus only rendering numbers and lower- and uppercase letters.

E.g.

hello-world2020!

should be changed to

helloworld2020

what is the easiest way to do that?

Kind regards Mikael

Hi,
You may try this solution:

  1. invoke pub.string:replace

  2. service in:
    searchString = \W
    useRegex = true
