Special Characters

Is it possible to look for specific characters in a text field?
I would like to remove all the 'Enter' / 'Return' / 'Carriage Return' / - whatever you want to call them - characters in the text.
In something like VB I would use chr$(13)

I would like to do something like this:

$Text = $Text.remove(chr$(13))

Can it be done?!

Thanks!
