Re: TeraScript-Talk: Remove non-alphanumeric characters

[Wayne Irvine]

That is awesome! I wasn’t aware of KEEP and suspect it will do what I need.

Thanks also for the explanation on REGEX. I wondered why I couldn’t get it to 
work.

RE: TeraScript-Talk: Remove non-alphanumeric characters

[Robert Shubert]

Before we get into the regex, @KEEP might be an option:

<@! "remove everything but letters and numbers">
<@KEEP <@ARG input> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890>

Regex in @REPLACE works a little differently than what the SO article says. I 
adapted one of the answers to this:

<@REPLACE <@ARG input> findstr="[^0-9a-zA-Z]" replacestr="" type="regex">

Lastly, there's an easy way to use the bit of JavaScript right from the SO 
answer, which you can run server-side:

<@SCRIPT expr='"<@ARG input encoding=javascript>".replace(/\W/g, "")'>

I have a situation where users might type in a string and I need to make a 
simple alphanumeric code from it.

Previously I’ve used a bunch of REPLACE statements, but you can never 
underestimate fools. ;)

I’m playing around with REGEX (again) and as usual, it has me stumped. I would 
like to code a simple REGEX (oxymoron) statement that will take a string of 
characters and return either a string with only alphanumerics and spaces, or an 
array of strings with only alphanumerics.

The regex pattern of terascript should be identical to the JavaScript pattern.
