RE: FN-FORUM: ISAPI Rewrite issues

Alternatively if you want something more readable then you could write a
function to conver everything except for compatable charictors to a dash for
example.

Function cleanURL(str)
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = "[^0-9a-zA-Z-_]"
regEx.IgnoreCase = True
regEx.Global = True
cleanURL = regEx.Replace(str, "-")
end function
