// updateForm() and cleanMe() for cleanPaperFilename
// 2007 by Sascha Tayefeh
//
// Problem: How to cope with tons of papers to store?
// Solution: Give them systemantic, human-readable filenames.
// Syntax: author__title__mag_vol_year.pdf
//
// rules:
// * Author is turned to lowercase (easier to find where searching
// is case sensitive)
// * All non-alphanumeric-characters in the title will be turned
// either into '_' or deleted.
// * Append the magazine-abbev., the volume and the year - and
// celebrate
//
function cleanMe(unpure)
{
var pure=unpure.replace(/[\s]/g,'_'); // First, replace all white-spaces by a single '_'
pure=pure.replace(/[^_\d\w\-]/g,''); // Next, replace all invalid characters
pure=pure.replace(/__*/g,'_'); // Clean up multiple '_'
return pure;
}
