Hi Jim, In our cms 'Teamsite' our users will create a primary navigation menu using one of the templates
In the template I require them to enter the Anchor text and url for each of the primary menu items for the purposes of this example I will provide only the Anchor text below e.g Home, Enrolments, Courses, Getting Here, News & Events, About Us As well as providing the primary menu above they then will provide a secondary menu. In the secondary menu template they have to associate the menu they are building with one of the primary menu items above they do this by choosing from a drop down list. This list is derived by a perl script I have written that parses the primary nav menu xml record and returns a drop down list of options. the label being the primary menu items as above the value will be the filename generated by the regex that we are trying to write. So in short the regex must remove any characters from the anchor text e.g the & in 'News & events' and any spaces, basically any characters that cannot be used in a filename if they have been inadvertently entered by the users. Any help appreciated thank you Colin -----Original Message----- From: Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 3:32 PM To: Johnstone, Colin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Regex help > > Hi Jim, > > rather than re-invent the wheel I would prefer if you could > fix this regex I believe it covers all invalid characters one > would encounter > > s/[<sup>\w\&%'[EMAIL PROTECTED](\)&_\</sup>\+,\.=\[\]]//g; > > I would then use it as a general purpose regex for validating > filenames. Please tell us what your are trying to do. without knowing more, this regex does not make any sense to me --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
