I'm not a coder so I'm kind of fumbling my way through this.
So far I've stumbled through some posts and the documentation to get the following to replace colons with nothing, but I'm not sure how to make it do the same for additional characters
Code:
{title: re(":","")}

Code:
{title: re("[:\,]","")}
The comma here is escaped with a backslash. Some characters don't need to be escaped. For example if you want to also remove characters like semicolons and underscores.
Code:
{title: re("[:\,;_]","")}
Trial and error should guide you into what needs to be escaped and what does not need.
