You need to add a caret just after the opening bracket. It inverts the selected items and says "everything BUT these".

I am trying to do it like this: <cfset d2 = rereplace(lcase(d1) , '[A-Za-z0-9 ]', '','all') /> but (understandably) it is doing the reverse of what I want. It is replacing all the numbers and letters. How do I change it so it only picks characters that are not numbers and letters?
