It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 61855
interpreted = N
texte = I don't see anything clearly wrong, but I'd try it without the backslashes. Bill -----Original Message----- From: Dale's eLists Sent: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 10:44:35 -0500 To: "WebDNA Talk" Subject: grep question - removing spaces Hello, I have a grep statement where I am wanting to only allow letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. No spaces or other special charactors (this will eventually be used as a username for email addresses). Using: [text show=t]ScreenName=[grep search=[^0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]&replace=][nickname][/grep][/text] if there is an embedded space, it does not get removed. What have I done wrong with this?
