The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
You can use an array or use %Scan & %Replace to remove anything that is not
a number or letter.

Subject: Remove embedded characters in a string
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.
