That's pretty basic stuff, that's not a reliable way of removing special chars in a string though because then you have hundreds of chars that you would be replacing. You go for your knowns... I know that from a-z is the standard, and if you wanted 0-9 in there, you could add that as well, so anything that is not part of the standard alphabet we leave out.

You mean that with that method (I've posted) you can't use special chars? Yeah, I know that, and that's a limitation for sure. I'll be learning something from the code you've posted.

Not exactly, but it's part of it. What I was saying is that if you tried removing all special chars individually, you would have to assume that there is no special chars that exist in that string that you have not considered, so you wouldn't do that. You would check for only what you know you want to exist in the string, not what you want to remove.

Imagine how many of these there are out there: !#@.,[\... etc...

In comparison to the 26 letters of the alphabet. That was my point.

Well, for sure; plus, with my code you can't make use of special chars.
