Remove Special Characters and White Spaces in a string

[j0nezn]

I have a string say !@#$%%^&ME and Bobby ! MckGee#@$%^. I want to strip all of the special characters and white spaces out. In python this line of code would do it re.sub(r'((?![a-zA-Z0-9]).)+', '', line) which uses regular expressions. I cannot seem to get this to work in QM with findrx or replacerx. I know I am doing something wrong, This is the Regex that is key ((?![a-zA-Z0-9]).)+'

Anybody know how to do this?


edit

this is what I would expect back
MEandBobbyMckGee

Try this:

Code:

str s="!@#$%%^&ME and Bobby ! MckGee#@$%^."
out "Before = %s" s
str regex="((?![a-zA-Z0-9]).)+"
s.replacerx(regex "" 8)
out "After = %s" s
