the jscript string replace, yeah? Guessing massively, you have your caret
inside the square brackets which I'm sure won't work.
s = s.replace( /^[0-9]+/, "_" );
s = s.replace( /^w+/, "_" );
combining the digit and space thing into one you may have to work at.

Subject: [Script] VBS - Fixing Text
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.
