That first comment should read // delete any character other than alpha-numeric (or spaces)

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.
