I wanted to know if the above can be done? What I need is a function that replaces every character of a string, that is not in [a-zA-Z1-9] with an underscore. I want to use this to automatically create an Object-Id from a title, to create a new Object.
If this is not possible directly within a Script(Python), can it be done using an ExternalMethod? I suppose yes.
In order to use regular expressions in python you need to 'import re'. After that you can use 'sub(pattern, repl, string[, count])' to substitue a string. For more information on regexps in python take a look at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node99.html#l2h-732 MfG Steffen -- Zu sagen 'Hier herrscht Freiheit' ist immer ein Irrtum oder auch eine Lüge -- Freiheit herrscht nicht (Erich Fried)
