How do I convert a variable $zcat string that say is "United States" to "United_States"

I know the following converts the "/" in the string to "space" (or perhaps just strips it?) and puts into a new variable $mycatname...

@mycatname = split(/\//, $zcat);

Is there a similarly short command for changing all spaces in a variable to underscores?

(I did warn it was a newbie question!)

m.

Are you working in site_html_templates.pl? The underscores will appear unless told NOT to. From sub site_html_print_cat:

if ($subcat =~ m,.*/([^/]+)$,) { $category_name = &build_clean($1); } else { $category_name = &build_clean($subcat); }

Remove the &build_clean and you will get the underscores you want. Pretty sure...

This code should do it;


However, this won't make it URL friendly (as you still need to escape other charachters).
