Typical helpful functions would be ones like EREPLACE, CHANGE and CONVERT. You can search the forums to find usage examples or go right to
this one which may help you out. It seemed like a good starting point, anyways.
Just noticed you marked this as a Parallel job... this is actually a Server job answer but still should help, I hope.

You can use the functions Craig mentioned in a BASIC Transformer stage.

Or you can use the UNIX utility called sed. It is well documented on the web.
