When I use your before mention snippet, I am getting an underscore character tacked onto the beginning and ending of each word. There is no space or any other character their, but after executing the regex statement, I have underscores before and after.
[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]] on 'some phrase' returns '_some_phrase_' instead of 'some_phrase' which is what I was looking for.
