How do I replace whitespaces with underscore?

Question

I want to replace whitespace with underscore in a string to create nice URLs. So that for example:

\"This should be connected\" becomes \"This_should_be_conn         


        

Answer 1

Python has a built in method on strings called replace which is used as so:

string.replace(old, new)

So you would use:

string.replace(" ", "_")

I had this problem a while ago and I wrote code to replace characters in a string. I have to start remembering to check the python documentation because they've got built in functions for everything.
