Hi sorry this is probably the easiest answer ever but how do I replace
all punctuation in a variable. I also in the same function want to
replace all spaces with underscores.

THANKS

try:

variable=variable.replace(/[^\w-]/g,'').replace(/\s/g,'_')

Thanks.

Ok so I tried that and it did replace the punctuation but the spaces
just got removed instead of being replaced with "_"

After messing around with it, this ended up working:

cboModel.value.replace(/ /g,'_').replace(/[^\w-]/g,'')
