texte = Hello, I have a grep statement where I am wanting to only allow letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. No spaces or other special charactors (this will eventually be used as a username for email addresses). Using: [text show=t]ScreenName=[grep search=[^0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]&replace=][nickname][/grep][/text] if there is an embedded space, it does not get removed. What have I done wrong with this?
