Re: Convert String to Url Format
you can use a regex say (notepad code): var cleanedUrl = new Regex([^-a-z0-9], RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Replace(url, -); maybe then I'd add a new regex(-+).Replace(cleanedUrl, -) to avoid double '-' characters On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 6:38 PM, eyal ebarda...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I need to convert a string into url compatible format.

Re: Convert String to Url Format
Hi Alex, RegexReplace is not recognized to be a valid method. Am I missing a lib ref?

Re: Convert String to Url Format
Sorry, regex replace is another extension method.. public static string RegexReplace(this string input, string pattern, string replace) { return Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replace); } No advantage over kens implementation I could see, just adding some weight to the fact that his approach works in the wild :) On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 8:12 AM, eyal ebarda...@gmail.com wrote: Also please explain if there is an advantage over Ken's method On Feb 11, 10:55 am, Alex Henderson bitterco...@gmail.com wrote: I have an extension method I use for this, basically the same as Kens... public static string Slugify(this string text) { return text.ToLowerInvariant().RegexReplace([^a-z0-9]+, -).RegexReplace(-+$, ).RegexReplace(^-+$, ); } On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 5:38 AM, eyal ebarda...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I need to convert a string into url compatible format.
