replaceCharactersNotInPattern

replaceCharactersNotInPattern replaces unwanted characters from a string with a given character.

An example:

• We have this string: 1!2/3·A|B@C#
• This are the characters we accept: 123ABC
• This is the character we want to replace extra characters with: 0
• The example would return: 102030A0B0C0
