If Not StringRegExp($author[0], "[^ a-zA-Z0-9_\-]") Then
            StringRegExpReplace ($author[0],[b]"BLAH BLAH BLAH"[/b],"")
        EndIf

where it says blah blah blah is what i dont know what to put.

i need it to replace everything other than a-z 0-9 _ & -

ascii characters all that...

[supadodger 0]

i did a work around...

i put all the special characters in a text file then used filereadtoarray to replace each of them...

Dim $replace
        _FileReadToArray("StringReplace.txt", $replace)
        $po = 0
        Do
            $po = 1 + 1
            $URLS[$x] = StringReplace($URLS[$x], $replace[$po], "")
        Until $po = $replace[0]

Dim $author[1] = ['q+w#er-ty ***abc']
$author[0] = StringRegExpReplace($author[0], '[^ a-zA-Z0-9_\-]', '')
MsgBox(0, '', $author[0]);qwer-ty abc

That will probably not work as you want because $po = 1 + 1 is $po = 2 and will not increase $po! You can use $po += 1 instead.
