Thread: Help with JS function

Help! I'm no javascript programmer, but sometimes it can't be avoided. I'd willingly try to figure this out, but I'm on deadline.

I need a statement or two that will remove any character from a string that is NOT a capital letter or a number; thus:

Code:

O'HARA-SMITH_JANE_Q1
would become
OHARASMITH_JANE_Q1

If you are feeling truly magnanimous, I also need a regex validator for same (but can include lower case characters, since I toUpper the string before I store it).

Mega cudos in advance.

OK - so I had to crack open my almost untouched JavaScript reference, but found what I was looking for. For the lurkers who might be looking for an answer like this, I coded:

Code:

 urlBox.value = urlText.replace(/[^\w\d_]*/gi, "")

Q.E.D.
