Can MySQL replace multiple characters?

Question

I\'m trying to replace a bunch of characters in a MySQL field. I know the REPLACE function but that only replaces one string at a time. I can\'t see any appropriate function

Answer 1

Cascading is the only simple and straight-forward solution to mysql for multiple character replacement.

UPDATE table1 
SET column1 = replace(replace(REPLACE(column1, '\r\n', ''), '
',''), '<\r>','')
