I want to take a string and replace = everything in=20 it with asterisks. None of these work:
 
[grep=20 search=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=20 and numbers, but what about other symbols and such (@, = etc.)?
 
I suppose I could do a [countchars] on = the input=20 then replace with that many asterisks, but it just seems like this is = exactly=20 the kind of job that grep is for.
