Regex remove all special characters except numbers?

Question

I would like to remove all special characters (except for numbers) from a string. I have been able to get this far

var name = name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z ]/, \"\");
<         


        

Answer 1

This should work as well

text = 'the car? was big and* red!'

newtext = re.sub( '[^a-z0-9]', ' ', text)

print(newtext)

the car was big and red
