Is there an easy way to remove special characters embedded in a string? I
know that %trim will remove them from before/after a string but not inside
the string. I need to be able to take a string like 'XC0-4566.999 X' and
turn it into 'XC04566999X'. Removing "-", ".", blanks and anything else
not a number or letter.
