How to remove special characters from a string in Data Modeler?

Sometimes when you are importing data from a source, a column may have non-alphanumeric characters (aka special characters). How can I remove these characters?

For example, if I have a column called Description and one of the rows has a value of Product-123@100XTY_v1.  I would like to return Product 123 100XTY v1.

    One way to do it would be to use the Replace node and leverage the Regular Expression or REGEX syntax.  Here is an example:   [^0-9a-zA-Z]+

     It will remove all the special characters.  On the "Replace with" property you can leave it blank or you can just add a space.
