Is there any simple function, such as .replace("", " "), that removes non alphanumeric characters? I want to,for example, remove "-" or other kinds of non alphanumeric characters from an input.

  • one simple solution would be this: [filter isalnum](http://stackoverflow.com/a/27773789/2162347) – Dragos Nov 29 '16 at 16:21
  • does it work for int, because the input is going to be a phone number, and i want tor remove "-" for example if the user writes 055-56753 @Dragos – michael Mekonnen Nov 29 '16 at 16:23
