If you want something more interactive, look into using a QValidator or an
input mask on a Qt text field. Otherwise, sanitizing with regular expressions
after the fact is a pretty solid solution.

Magno,
Ha! Clever workaround. I have invested some time already, however, going down
the path of rolling my own sanitizer… So, I think I'll keep going - since I'll
be able to re-use it after I'm done for other user inputs, later. I'll give
your suggestion a try later, after I'm done and see how well it works - maybe
I'll change my mind! ;^)
Thanks,
Rich

Correcting... "Create a dummy node"
Here's an idea, looking quickly at docs, I couldn't find the function you
need:
Create a dummy name, set node name = user text input and get it back
sanitized.
I don't htin kyou can do this, but will this help?
import re
string = '123 abc$&^'
pattern = re.compile(r'[^\w]')
newString = pattern.sub('_', string)
print newString

Hi,
I am writing a script that needs some user input name strings. I want
to keep the names free of spaces and illegal characters. I know that the node
"name" knob automatically cleans up spaces and unsupported characters as you
type. If that user input method is accessible, I'd like to be able to use it
instead of writing my own. Anyone know if it is accessible and how to call it,
outside the knob name…?
Thanks for any help,
Rich
