Hiya,
I'm having a slight brain fart at the moment and can't seem to figure out how
to get this going...
I'm retrieving text from user input (from a text file or whatever) and I don't
want to limit the user to have to watch out for his spelling by having to not
put in spaces, numbers at the head of the word nor special characters...
How do I strip a string of all the numbers, spaces and special characters and
replace them with an underscore?
The replace function won't accept [^a-z]...
I've managed to get the script going another way but I'm now curious as to how
to do the above...
Cheers!
Nick.
