Hi,

 I have to remove the speial symbols from list of names. But I want to
remain the dot(.) in the name itself.
I use ommunity_org_review.name.downcase.strip.squeeze("
").gsub(/['^''&''!']/,
'-').squeeze("-").chomp("-")
or
org_review.company.downcase.strip.squeeze("
").gsub(/[^[:alnum:]]/,'-').squeeze("-").chomp("-")

It is sibstituting with hyphen(-), including dot(.) also. I want to
remain dot. How to do it. please help.
