How to remove symbols from a string in Golang?

Remove symbols from a given string

In the following program ReplaceAllString() method is used, which allows us to replace original string with another string if the specified string matches with the specified regular expression. This method is defined under the regexp package, hence to access ReplaceAllString() method first we need to import the regexp package in our program.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"regexp"
)

func main() {
	str1 := "how much for the maple syrup? $20.99? That's ridiculous!!!"

	re, err := regexp.Compile(`[^\w]`)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	str1 = re.ReplaceAllString(str1, " ")
	fmt.Println(str1)
}

In the above program, we have replaced special characters with white-space.

Output

how much for the maple syrup   20 99  That s ridiculous
