Use regex you can remove special characters

Here is a regex to match a string of characters that are not a letters or numbers:

[^A-Za-z0-9]+

ex:

import re
str='(/|\\)cmd\.exe$'
re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9.]+', '',str)

try this:

string = "(/|\\)cmd\.exe$"

chars_to_remove = ("(|\\/$")
for char in chars_to_remove:
    string=string.replace(char, "")

print string
