I want to replace all non-alpha characters in a string with a plus ‘+’

  • 0

I want to replace all non-alpha characters in a string with a plus ‘+’ sign, but making sure that a group of more than one non-alpha chars is only replaced by one plus sign.

I had thought the following might work but apparently not:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(name, @'[^\w]*?', '+')

    Try System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(name, @’\W+’, ‘+’)

    For this: ‘sasa-==[]&^asdsa2435′ matches -==[]&^
