I have a list of chars

```julia

julia> usuwam

96×1 Array{Any,2}:
 "\""
 """
 "A"
 "/"
...

and i need to repalce all from string Array:
julia> string.(dane[:,5])
1074762-element Array{String,1}:
 "TEST"
 "VENDISERVISSp.zo.o."
 "CONRADCOMPANYKonradKaczyński"
 "AquaHotel"
....

for i in usuwam
replace.(string.(dane[:,5]),i=>"") 
end

This would (probably) work:

```julia
data = ["Pod","papugami","jest","szeroko","niklowany","bar"]
println(data)

usuwam = ["u","sz"]

for i in usuwam
  global data = replace.(data,i=>"")
end
println(data)

```

Alternatively, do `replace!()`.
