Is there an easy way to do the equivalent in jquery or jscript for that matter.

A:
Like this:
newString = someString.replace(/[^a-z0-9A-Z -]/g, "");
Without the g (Global) flag,it will only replace the first match.

A:
NewString = SOMESTRING.replace(/[^a-z0-9A-Z -]/g, "new string")
But what you wrote isn't actually a valid static method of Regex.

**You need to assign the return value** – Strings are immutable.

@SLaks: I'm not that dumb, just didn't translate the entire line, edited. Although I did steal the /g from you, thanks.

Yes; you and I realize that. However, Joe Programmer might not.
