sorry, didn't see the vbs thing. I find js patterns a lot better than vbs;
closer to the original Perl. You could always wrap a js script into a command.

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.

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.
