COMPRESS(<string>, [<list>]) returns a string Removes any of the characters contained in <list> from <string>. The default character for <list> is a blank, so this function will remove all blanks if only <string> is specified. Examples: say compress('$1,045','$,%'); >>> 1045 say compress('Call me Ismael.'); >>> CallmeIsmael.
