Question

Scenario:

There is a title called “AJAX, JSON & HTML5! The future of web?”
Would like to convert this into this “ajax-json-html5-the-future-of-web”

Basically what I need is a function that strips out all the non alphabets and then replace them with a single hyphen and lowercase that.

Problem:

With some effort I could do that with String.Replace or String.CharAt but I think thats all too messy. Am I correct? I believe Regex is the way to go. As my Regex is very rusty I am unable to get something that shows the desired output.:)
Disclaimer: This is basically a Give me the Codez. But I have pretty much covered my options I guess.

Answer 1

An example using Regex – this should get you in the right direction (Edit – added clearing off the trailing dash so it looks nicer)

    var input = "This is some amazing Rexex Stuff!";
            input = Regex.Replace(input, @"[\W]+", "-").ToLower();
            input = Regex.Replace(input, @"[-]+$", "");
            Console.Write(input);
            Console.Read();
