Here is Java code to replace special characters

String inputString = "1/10 EP Sp'arrowha?wk XT R;TR 2.4GHz R\\ed";
String re = "[;\\\\/:*?\"<>|&']";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(re);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputString);
String outputString = matcher.replaceAll(" ");

Full disclosure regarding the following code:

  • It's not tested
  • I probably messed up the character escaping in new Regex(...);

  • I don't actually know C#, but I can Google for "C# string replace regex" and land on MSDN

    Regex re = new Regex("[;\\/:*?\"<>|&']");
string outputString = re.Replace(inputString, " ");

Here's the correct code:

string inputString = "1/10 EP Sp'arrowha?wk XT R;TR 2.4GHz R\\ed";
Regex re = new Regex("[;\\\\/:*?\"<>|&']");
string outputString = re.Replace(inputString, " ");
// outputString is "1 10 EP Sp arrowha wk XT R TR 2.4GHz R ed"
