How do I write a search to replace an asterisk character in a string?

[szabados]

I want to replace the * character in a string with the replace command. How do I apply the * by escaping it, not to replace the whole string?

Hi
You can use rex command with mode=sed attribute . see the following

 ..........................| rex mode=sed "s/\"\"/\"\*\"/g"

Try

eval my-new-field=replace(string-to-replace,"\*","")
