RegEx to replace special characters in a string with space ? asp.net c#

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"
