kebab-case (slug) the-kind-of-file-format-with-hyphens

[Lionel BOUHNIK]

Hi,

I'm new to TextSoap and I'm surprised I couldn't easily find a way to format a string to kebab-case such as This is what I want to transform to this-is-what-i-want-to-transform (named as slugify in PopClip tool).

Have I looked in the wrong place?

Do I have to make my own converter within TextSoap ?

Thank you.

Cheers.

I can look at adding this as default, but it is fairly easy to create your own custom cleaner to do this:

I looked up the description of Slugify on PopClips extension and saw there was more involved, so here are the actions that accomplish everything described.

1. Make everything lowercase

2. Match anything that is NOT a letter, a digit, or whitespace

3. Finally, find any whitespace and replace it with a hyphen

We find one or more, so it only leaves a single hyphen, no matter how many spaces (or tabs) there were before
