I want to take a string and replace =everything in=20it with asterisks. None of these work:
[grep=20search=3D[*]&replace=3D*]h4tdb!@6889gfd[/grep]
[grep search=3D[=20]&replace=3D*]h4tdb!@6889gfd[/grep]
[grep search=3D[url][=20][/url]&replace=3D*]h4tdb!@6889gfd[/grep]
I know how to do a grep that replaces =all letters=20and numbers, but what about other symbols and such (@, =etc.)?
I suppose I could do a [countchars] on =the input=20then replace with that many asterisks, but it just seems like this is =exactly=20the kind of job that grep is for.
Not terribly important, but now I'm =curious how it=20can be done.
Thanks,
