Hi all.

I'm trying to adapt a script I use for cleaning up filenames. Normally it would replace spaces with an underscore character. However, I would like it to allow spaces. I've tried changing the "_" to " ", or "&amp;nbsp;", or "%20". I've also tried finding out what the ascii and hex codes for space are and using these, but couldn't find anything that was clear enough. Nothing is working - " " inserts nothing and all the rest throw up errors. I guess I could leave out the bit of pre_replace that finds the space characters, but I don't know which bit that is. It's all greek (or hex) to me <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Can anyone help?

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;?php
function clean_title($title) {
$reserved = preg_quote('\/:*?"\'&lt;&gt;|', '/');
return preg_replace("/([\\x00-\\x20\\x7f-\\xff{$reserved}])/e", "_", $title);
}
?&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

No matter, I've solved it. After a bit more googling I found out that the bit of hex (or is it octal?) for space is '\\x20', so I changed it to '\\x19' (to stop one character before space) and all is working as I'd like it now <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
