Challenge: Strip reserved characters

This challenge is deceptively difficult. I do not currently know a way to complete this task. However, perhaps together we can come up with something that works.. Write a pure batch script that processes a text file called input.txt and outputs a copy of it called output.txt with all instances of the following removed: 1. Double Quote " 2. Single Quote ' 3. Caret ^ 4. Open Bracket ( 5. Close Bracket ) 6. And & 7. Greater-Than > 8. Less-Than < 9. Equals = 10. Exclamation ! So for example, consider the following input.txt: Cats = "soft". They are 'furry' & nice. Dum de dum.. Cats Best cats! Other cats. After running the script, output.txt would contain this: Cats soft. They are furry nice. Dum de dum.. _ Cats Best cats Other cats. Ok, go ! :D

Long code for batch when doing this in *nix requires one line 😝

PHP Code 


<?php 
Teddi@Teddi# sed "s/[\"^()&><=!']//g" file
Cats  soft.  They are furry  nice.
Dum de dum..  _ Cats
Best cats  Other cats. 

Just wanted to be the guy who posts a *nix solution in Batch thread.. 😝
