{{task|String manipulation}}
;Task: Create a function that strips a set of characters from a string.
The function should take two arguments: :::# a string to be stripped :::# a string containing the set of characters to be stripped
The returned string should contain the first string, stripped of any characters in the second argument:
print stripchars("She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!","aei")
Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!

Bracmat
This solution handles Unicode (utf-8) characters. Optimizations are: (1) the chars string is hard-coded into the pattern before the pattern is used in the match expression, (2) the output characters are stacked (cheap) rather than appended (expensive). The result string is obtained by stringizing the stack and reversing. To make multibyte characters survive, they are reversed before being put onto the stack. A problem is that this code is negligent of diacritical marks.

Elixir
The easiest solution would be to use replace from the String module, which takes a Regex.
str = "She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!"
String.replace(str, ~r/[aei]/, "")
# => Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
To get the desired interface, we just have to dynamically construct the Regex:
defmodule RC do
def stripchars(str, chars) do
String.replace(str, ~r/[#{chars}]/, "")
end
end
str = "She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!"
RC.stripchars(str, "aei")
# => Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!

The function is created in the shell. A module would be over engineering.

Forth
Forth is a low level language that is extended to solve your problem. Here we add APPEND-CHAR to the language and use it built the new string character by character in a memory buffer called PAD. PAD is a standard Forth word. SCAN is common in most Forth systems and is typically coded in Forth assembler
: append-char ( char str -- ) dup >r count dup 1+ r> c! + c! ; \ append char to a counted string
: strippers ( -- addr len) s" aeiAEI" ; \ a string literal returns addr and length
: stripchars ( addr1 len1 addr2 len2 -- PAD len )
0 PAD c! \ clear the PAD buffer
bounds \ calc loop limits for addr2
DO
2dup I C@ ( -- addr1 len1 addr1 len1 char)
scan nip 0= \ scan for char in addr1, test for zero
IF \ if stack = true (ie. NOT found)
I c@ PAD append-char \ fetch addr2 char, append to PAD
THEN \ ...then ... continue the loop
LOOP
2drop \ we don't need STRIPPERS now
PAD count ; \ return PAD address and length

I decided to make the string the second argument and the characters the first argument, because it is more likely for someone to partially apply the characters to be stripped (making a function that strips certain characters), than the string.

Reversing the order of the arguments, to simplify any currying:
(() => {

// stripChars :: String -> String -> String
const stripChars = (strNeedles, strHayStack) =>
strHayStack.replace(RegExp(`[${strNeedles}]`, 'g'), '');
// GENERIC FUNCTION

return noAEI('She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!');

{{Out}}

Alternatively, we could also do this without a regex:
(() => {
'use strict';
// stripChars :: String -> String -> String
const stripChars = (strNeedles, strHayStack) =>
strHayStack.split('')
.filter(x => !elem(x, strNeedles))
.join('');

// elem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
const elem = (x, xs) => xs.indexOf(x) !== -1;

const curry = f => a => b => f(a, b);

In this case, we would write: "She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!" | stripchars("aei")

Perl
Note: this example uses a regular expression character class. Certain characters, like hyphens and brackets, may need to be escaped.
sub stripchars {

}
print stripchars("She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!", "aei"), "\n";
{{out}}
Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
Another good option for stripping characters is to use the tr/// operator. This option is very efficient when the set of characters to strip is fixed at compile time, because tr/// is specifically designed for transforming and deleting characters. Note that hyphens also have special meaning in this case.
$str =~ tr/aei//d;
Since the characters used for tr/// must be fixed at compile time, unfortunately, it requires the use of an eval to do this generally for any set of characters provided at runtime:
sub stripchars {
my ($s, $chars) = @_;
eval("\$s =~ tr/$chars//d;");
return $s;
}

version 1
In the REXX language, '''strip''' usually means to remove leading and/or trailing characters from a string (most often, blanks).
/*REXX program removes a list of characters from a string (the haystack). */
say stripChars('She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!', "iea") /*elide: iea */
exit /*stick a fork in it, we're all done. */
/*──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────*/
stripChars: procedure; parse arg haystack, remove
do j=1 for length(remove)
haystack=changestr( substr( remove, j, 1), haystack, '')
end /*j*/
return haystack
Some older REXXes don't have a '''changestr''' BIF, so one is included here ───► [[CHANGESTR.REX]].
{{out|output|text=:}}
Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
version 2
Using recursion:
/* REXX */
say StripChars('She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!','iea')
exit 0
StripChars: procedure
parse arg strng,remove
removepos=Verify(strng,remove,'MATCH')
if removepos=0 then return strng
parse value strng with strng =(removepos) +1 rest
return strng || StripChars(rest,remove)

This works on all Rexxes.

Naive Implementation:

let mut result = String::new();
for c in original.chars() {

Functional Implementation:
fn strip_characters(original : &str, to_strip : &str) -> String {
original.chars().filter(|&c| !to_strip.contains(c)).collect()
}
Either can be executed thusly:
fn main() {

TorqueScript
This uses a default function. $string = "She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!"; $chars = "aei"; $newString = stripChars($string, $chars); echo($string); echo($newString);
Output:
She was a soul stripper. She took my heart! Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
TUSCRIPT
$$ MODE TUSCRIPT,{}
string="She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!"
stringstrip=EXCHANGE (string,"_[aei]__")
print string
print stringstrip
Output:
She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!
Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
TXR
This solution builds up a regular expression in a hygienic way from the set of characters given as a string.
The string is broken into a list, which is used to construct a regex abstract syntax tree for a character set match, using a Lisp quasiquote. This is fed to the regex compiler, which produces an executable machine that is then used with regsub.
On the practical side, some basic structural pattern matching is used to process command line argument list.
Since the partial argument list (the arguments belonging to the TXR script) is a suffix of the full argument list (the complete arguments which include the invoking command and the script name), the classic Lisp function ldiff comes in handy in obtaining just the prefix, for printing the usage:
(defun strip-chars (str set)
(let* ((regex-ast ^(set ,*(list-str set)))
(regex-obj (regex-compile regex-ast)))
(regsub regex-obj "" str)))
(defun usage ()
(pprinl `usage: @{(ldiff *full-args* *args*) " "} <string> <set>`)
(exit 1))
(tree-case *args*
((str set extra) (usage))
((str set . junk) (pprinl (strip-chars str set)))
(else (usage)))
{{out}}
$ txr strip-chars-2.tl
usage: txr strip-chars-2.tl <string> <set>
$ txr strip-chars-2.tl "she was a soul stripper. she stole my heart." "aei"
sh ws soul strppr. sh stol my hrt.
Now here is a rewrite of strip-chars which just uses classic Lisp that has been generalized to work over strings, plus the do syntax (a sibling of the op operator) that provides syntactic sugar for a lambda function whose body is an operator or macro form.
(defun strip-chars (str set)
(mappend (do if (memq @1 set) (list @1)) str))
(do if (memq @1 set) (list @1)) is just (lambda (item) (if (memq item set) (list item))).
mappend happily maps over strings and since the leftmost input sequence is a string, and the return values of the lambda are sequence of characters, mappend produces a string.
UNIX Shell
One would normally do this using the standard tr(1) command: {{works with|sh}}
strip_chars() {
echo "$1" | tr -d "$2"
}
But it can also be accomplished with bash's built-in parameter expansions: {{works with|bash}}
function strip_chars {
echo "${1//[$2]}"
}
Test code:
strip_chars "She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!" aei
{{out}}
Sh ws soul strppr. Sh took my hrt!
Ursala
Normally there's no need to define this operation because it's built in.
strip = ~&j
#cast %s
test = strip('she was a soul stripper. she took my heart','aei')

'sh ws soul strppr. sh took my hrt'

VBA
Pass the optional bSpace parameter True to replace stripped characters with spaces, otherwise replaced with null.
Function StripChars(stString As String, stStripChars As String, Optional bSpace As Boolean)
Dim i As Integer, stReplace As String
If bSpace = True Then
stReplace = " "
Else
stReplace = ""
End If
For i = 1 To Len(stStripChars)
stString = Replace(stString, Mid(stStripChars, i, 1), stReplace)
Next i
StripChars = stString
End Function
{{out}}
' with bSpace = True:
