Want to get rid of only two special characters

Hello,

 

I only want to get rid of two special characters in every field of my output:

 

--

"

 

I currently have it set up where I have one formula for each field name. However, I want a formula for the whole output.

 

Can someone assist? It's cumbersome to do the same formula for each field name.

 

Replace([FEDERAL_TAX_ID],'--',' ')

Replace([ACRONYM],'--',' ')

 

etc.

Use the Multi-field Formula tool

Sorry @ArtApa , but that answer will create problems for 3 or more -'s

 

Regex_Replace[_CurrentField_],"(.*?)--(.*)",'$1$2')

 

 cheers,

Thank you!

 

Does this formula go in the "Multi Row Formula" tool?
