am looking for an edit solution to strip out unprintables (e.g. tab, null,
newline, and carriage return for the most part) from a data field.

pretty much whatever is not included in CHR or ASCII edits.

i'm sure mid can handle character by character, but an easier, one-step
edit solution is escaping me right now.

ideas?
