[Vala] Apply a RegEx in Vala

[David Gomes <davidrafagomes gmail com>]

I read the ValaDoc on RegEx's and the example in live.gnome.org.

However, I couldn't figure out how to apply regular expressions in Vala.

I have this:

        var my_regex = new Regex ("[^a-zA-Z0-9]");
        string my_string = "Hello World()///";
        my_regex.replace (my_string, my_string.length, 0, "");
        print ("%s\n", my_string);

This snippet should remove all spaces and spaces and symbols. However,
it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
