Remove symbols from string?

[sonik]

So I have text acquired from what the user inputs in a multi-line input box.
How would I take that input and remove certain symbols from it?

For example user types in: " **Liberal Arts 2019:}\ ".
So I just want: “Liberal Arts 2019”.

How would I remove special symbols and stuff and just keep the words + numbers here?

Also side note, is it possible to save input as a UTF string?

You could use the find & replace (two instances is allowed) feature and:

Find: **
Replace:

Find: : }\ (not sure what this character is)
Replace:

Mind explaining how to do two instances of find and replace? I’m only able to do one.

Sure. You can append multiple instances of Find & Replace as you see fit. As explained at Regex pattern to remove URL parameters/UTM with video
