I'm looking for a good way to filter certain characters out of a given string. Suppose I start out with a string:
"frag men d'ary a`la word"
What's the best way of filtering it down to:
"fragmendaryalaword"
I figured I could clean it up in 3 passes by looking for 1 of the 3 characters I'm removing and picking out the string segments that happen between what I'm looking to remove with a command like string.token[1,'], and then just concatenating them together.
That seems kinda ugly though. I was not able to find any string methods in the docs to do this and so far searching the boards hasn't shown anything either. Any other methods I've missed?

Okaaaay, maybe I should rephrase that.
The methods listed in that section of the docs are the ones that allowed me to concoct the manner of filtering I already have. I'm using the Length, Right, and Arg/Token methods to pull the string apart into chunks that I have to append back together again.
A filter method would just nuke the characters I want to remove, and close the gaps.
Is there a way to use regular expressions in a script?
