char array names = ['time (s)', 'speed (%)',....]
I want to save the char array such that () and % characters are removed, meaning names = ['time_s', 'accel_pedal',...]

str = regexp( names, '[%() ]', '_');
But more likely you want
str = regexp(names, {'[%() ]+', '_+$'}, {'_', ''});
But it is a bit confusing what you are asking, especially since you are using a version before the string() data type. The notation
['time (s)', 'speed (%)',....]
would create a single character vector that started with
'time (s)speed (%)'
and once that was constructed there would be no way of knowing where the original breaks between the elements had been -- not unless we could count on each entry ending in ')' . If we can count on that, then would the desired output be
'time_s speed'
?
I am uncertain as to your actual input is something like,
names = ['time (s) ';
'speed (%)']
so a char array with 640 rows and blank padding to make the rows all the same size? If so then preserving the char array nature would be slightly awkward, and would raise the question of whether the new char array should be the same size as the input or should instead only have as many columns as needed to represent the widest entry excluding trailing blanks.
Or perhaps what you have is a cell array of character vectors,
names = {'time (s)', 'speed (%)',....};
If so then the two regexp() I posted above will work.

str = regexprep(names, {'[%() ]+', '_+$'}, {'_', ''});
