How to replace special character in string field

[Sagar S]

Hi,

We have HTML field called "short description" and string field called "exception short description", we are copying the values from html field to string field by removing the html tags. now we are facing an issue that special characters is also copying from html field to string field. We would need to remove the special character from the string field and the special character should not copy from html field to string field.

Regards,

Sagar

Hi Team,

I am trying to replace 
the special characters should be replaced with their equivalent:

ä ---> a
ë ---> e
ï ---> i
ö ---> o
ü ---> u
ÿ ---> y

I am trying like below in business rule 

 case "u_planned_productive":

                case "u_planned_outofservice":

                case "u_termination_pending": {

                    var keyCapry = capry_util.serviceNowToCapryFieldTransform(key);

                    var nonEngV = value.replace(/[^\x20-\x7E]+/g);

                    jsonObj[keyCapry] = nonEngV;

                    break;

                }

         Note : .replace(/[^\x20-\x7E]+/g);   this one escaping the nonenglish letter for example if i will give input like Mühlhäuser   -> output i am getting Mhlhuser like this 

expected i need output like Muhlhauser  how to do for this can any one help me

Please help me if anyone know the solution 

Thanks & Regards
