Re: To create a custom functoid to remove all special characters from a file. The file could be a flat file or XML.

Functoids are used in maps,So you can apply it to a XML node(field) in the map. You cannot directly apply it to the complete file.It will be individual node based. So if you have 10 fields(10 scripting functoid with C# code to remove the special characters) each connected to its own functoid and output to the corresponding field in the Output Schema. If the structure of the Output file  is same as input file without special caracters then the Input and Output Schemas in the map will be same as of the incoming file.
