Example

// Create a regex with no additional options and a timeout of 3000ms.
// The pattern [^\d] matches all non-digit characters.
var regex = regex_create("[^\d]", RO_NONE, 3000);
var input = "12ff45hj9";
var replace = "";

// This will replace all matches with nothing, effectively removing them from the string.
var result = regex_replace(regex, input, replace);
show_debug_message(result);

// Outputs:
// 12459
