Cleaning of characters

[.:HyPeX:.]

Guys, i'm starting a project, pretty easy, but long.

I'm going to make a long line to replace All characters(wich are not normal, a-z, 0-9, etc) to blank, or whatever wanted.

Known facts:

-Probably will lag a bit on the call.

-Big-space taking.

-definitons are not set yet.

I'm going to be updating it.

x: (where x is not one of the magic characters ^$()%.[]*+-?) represents the character x itself.

.: (a dot) represents all characters.

%a: represents all letters.

%c: represents all control characters.

%d: represents all digits.

%l: represents all lowercase letters.

%p: represents all punctuation characters.

%s: represents all space characters.

%u: represents all uppercase letters.

%w: represents all alphanumeric characters.

%x: represents all hexadecimal digits.

%z: represents the character with representation 0.

%x: (where x is any non-alphanumeric character) represents the character x. This is the standard way to escape the magic characters. Any punctuation character (even the non magic) can be preceded by a '%' when used to represent itself in a pattern.

You could just use %d.
