I have looked at the manuals for regular expression help, but I am still mystified as to how to accomplish a simple character stripping. I have a string, ex. "hello i have spaces, and punctuation." that I want everything but alpha numeric characters stripped from it and spaces converted to underscores so that it would return "hello_i_have_spaces_and_punctuation" If someone could please post the appropriate syntax for REReplace, I would be most thankful. It would save me headaches!
