reReplace(string, "[^A-Za-z0-9]", "_", "ALL") on 'some phrase' returns 'some_phrase' as expected.
reReplace(string, "[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]]", "_" "ALL") on 'some phrase' returns '_some_phrase_' which was not expected. The string 'some phrase' really is just that without any extra spaces. Either way, the first method works just fine and is probably safer. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 12:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Regular Expression Help Did you TRIM the variable first? That may help ... Perhaps there's whitespace surrounding the text.
