Should be able to replace any character other than a letter, or number, with
a single hyphen. This should do the trick:
<cfscript>
function sesReplace(str) {
// delete any character other than alpha-numeric
var tmp = REReplaceNoCase(str,'[^[:alnum:] ]','','ALL');
// replace all spaces with dashes
return REReplaceNoCase(tmp,'[ ]+','-','ALL');
}
</cfscript>
<cfset one = "This is the headline story!!">
<cfset two = "Let's not forget about special char$$$$$">
<cfset three = "Hyphens as in - should not appear 2 times in a row">
<cfoutput>
#sesReplace(one)#<br />
#sesReplace(two)#<br />
#sesReplace(three)#<br />
</cfoutput>

Subject: SPAM: SES UDF
Hi folks,
I'm experimenting with SES URLs for a company Intranet.
Basically I would like to take a string and turn it into alpha-numeric
separated by hyphens.
Therefore,
"This is the headline story!!" = "this-is-the-headline-story"
"Let's not forget about special char$$$$$" =
"lets-not-forget-about-special-char"
"Hyphens as in - should not appear 2 times in a row" =
"hyphens-as-in-should-not-appear-2-times-in-a-row"
Does anyone know if a UDF exists already. I've looked at cflib. I've played
with REReplace, but can't find the correct regular expression to use.
Thanks to all for any help,
Jeff
