Purgechar(field,'character') multiple characters
Hi community,
I have the following issue:
For an assignement I need to clean a dataset. The data in my field looks like this
Table:
Load* Inline[
Text
':text, text; text @ text'
'/text% text= text'
]
As you can see I have multiple characters I would like to purge.
Do you guys know a way to do this without nesting X-amount purgechar(field,'character') functions?
Kind regards 🙂

2nd argument takes multiple characters.. you don't have to do any nesting
PurgeChar(':text, text; text @ text',':,;@')
