I had to do something similar - try this:
let $string := "Peña, replaces dia char"
return replace($string, '[^\p{L}|\p{N}]+', '')

Hi Jakob,
Thanks, Ya it worked well, but it also removes the diacritics character also.
If i do not want to remove diacritics the what to do?
Eg: -->
let $string := "Peña, replaces dia char"
return replace($string, '[^a-zA-Z]+', '')
==> Peareplacesdiachar
I need "Peñareplacesdiachar"
Thanks
Santhosh

Hi,
it's probably easier if you declare the character groups you want to
keep and excluding everything else, like so:
let $string := "AB cd/EF;gh"
return replace($string, '[^a-zA-Z]+', '') (: everything that's not an
alphabetical character will be replaced :)
==> "ABcdEFgh"
cheers,
Jakob.
