I think everyone is missing the finer detail...

The regex isn't going to be written in a script...it's being passed via CGI to be handled by a perl script...I am utilizing the RLIKE ability of the SQL::Statement that allows for passing Perl regex SQL WHERE expressions:

     http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?where=Site RLIKE '^bluff'

This works to return all Site entries that begin with '~bluff'. Building on this idea:

     ...myscript.pl?where=Site RLIKE 'm/^~Bluff Park/i'

The sample above seems (logically, based on my limited XP with regex) like it would almost work but it does not handle the SPACE to UNDERSCORE substitutions. It looks for matches begining with the defined text string and ignores case (the '/i', if I am reading the camel book right).

So what I need to know is if there a way to include a s/// call in the regex expression or via some other function, get the SPACES to be replaced with UNDERSCORES?

TIA
