Regex Replace function with Razor

Question

I was looking for a way to replace all special characters with a replace function. I want to use the Razor syntax but this

@Product.Name.Regex.Replace(@"[^A-Za-z0-9/\s/g]", "_")

does not do the trick.

I've tried this

@Regex.Replace(@Product.Name,@"[^A-Za-z0-9/\s/g]", "_")

and it failed as well.

By now I've tried a lot of other things and a lot of times I keep getting this error message: "The name 'Regex' does not exist in the current context"

Can anybody please help?

Answer 1

You need to add @using System.Text.RegularExpressions to the top of your template. Also, this question will help you if you want this namespace to be available in all templates.

Answer 2

To be complete, the right code for the regular expression is:

@Regex.Replace(@Product.Name,@"[^A-Za-z0-9\.\,_]", "_")

This will replace all special characters with an underscore.
